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 the printer can be used, configure it on the network. For more information, see the
appropriate chapters on Windows 2000 networks in 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, 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 the
Customization Utility:
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.
4. Type D:\SETUP.EXE and press ENTER (or click OK).
5. Click Install Printer.
