Network Basics

If you previously had a direct connection from
your computer to the same printer, or a
network connection to another printer of the
same model, the network printer installer may
be able to use the driver that is already on your
computer.

The installer software takes the driver location you
specify, finds the driver, and installs it in your system.

Once the installer has finished, you are ready for
network printing from your computer.

The End

When installing the network printing software, some
users are unsure when the installation is complete.
When the network printer is installed on your
computer and you can print to it, the installation is
complete.

Confusion sometimes arises in the situation when you
have two CDs -- a printer CD and the HP Jetdirect CD
-- and you have just finished the installation from the
printer CD. It is common to wonder whether you
should run the installer on the Jetdirect CD as well.
You don't need to. Once your network printer prints
successfully, you're done with the installation on that
computer. (Of course, if you are installing the
network printer software for peer-to-peer printing
from several computers, you will need to run the
installer from each computer.)
