2. Insert the installation CD-ROM for the appropriate language into the CD-ROM
drive.
3. If AutoPlay is bypassed, select Run from the Start menu.
4. Type D:\SETUP.EXE and press ENTER (or click OK).
5. Click Install Printer.
6. To install printer software for the language and version of Windows being used to
install from, click Next.
7. Click Continue until asked to select an installation option.
8. To install software for Windows on a peer-to-peer network, choose Custom. This
option installs the following software components:
• Uninstaller
• Printer drivers
• Readme files
• Bidirectional communication
• Resource Manager
• Online User Guide
NOTE: When installing the software on a network that uses a shared
version of Windows, install the software twice. During the first
installation, install files on the shared Windows directory. Once
the installation is complete, run the installation software again,
and choose Typical or Custom to install the printer software onto
the workstation used to install from.
9. Define the printer port to use for this printer. The options available are:
• Use an Existing Port - select the port you wish to use.
• Add a Port - select the port you wish to use.
• Connect to a Shared Network Printer - browse the directory structure to
locate the path and name of the shared network printer.
10. Once the installer has installed the chosen printer software, and Windows has
been restarted, the installation is complete. Network administrators must now
configure the printer on the network (refer to “Configuring the Printer on the
Network”).
Configuring the printer on the network
Before you can print to the network printer, you must configure the printer on the network.
For more information, refer to the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide.
Distributing the installation software to network clients
Before a network client can print to the HP Color LaserJet 4550 printer, the printer
software must be installed on the client’s workstation. Rather than distributing the CD-
ROM to each client, the Network Administrator can place disk images of the installation
software onto a public directory. The printer software’s Customization Utilities option lets
you copy disk images for Windows Operating Systems to a designated directory.
To create disk images with Customization Utilities:
1. Insert the CD-ROM for the appropriate language into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Click the Start button, and then select Run.
3. If AutoPlay is bypassed, select Run from the Start menu.
