3. Press the Item button repeatedly until PRINT CONFIGURATION

PAGE appears.

4. Press the Resume button to print the configuration page.

Note: Because you have installed an HP JetDirect card, two configuration pages

will print. The JetDirect Configuration Page contains setup information (for

example, LAN HW ADDRESS) that may be needed for the next step.

Step 3 – Install the Printer Software

1. Install the PCL5 and PS printer driver from the Starter CD. For more

information on using the Starter CD to install printer drivers, see

page 3-1.

Sharing the Printer on a Network

Note: This procedure is for enabling a PC to use a shared printer. It assumes that
the printer driver is already installed on the PC and that the printer is currently
being shared on a network.

In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port

of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared by the

other computers (or clients). The server could be a computer running

Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, or

Windows NT 4.0/2000. Sharing the printer in this configuration is
easy.
Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The

shared computer is slowed down when many users print to its shared

printer.
