Printer-driver only installation instructions (Microsoft Add Printer Wizard)

To use the printer-driver only software solution with a direct USB connection, a USB Print port must

have already been created by a previous installation of the printing-system software. There are

several direct USB printing-system software installation options that establish a USB Print port:

●

Complete an installation using the in-box printing-system software CD.

●

Download the "Recommended Solution", which provides installation options identical to the

printing-system software CD.

Once a USB Print port is created by a previous direct USB installation, the printer-driver installation

can be completed using that USB Print port.

Use the following instructions to install the printer driver only:

1. Click Start, and then do one of the following:

For Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP Professional: Select

Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.

-or-

For Windows XP Home: Click Control Panel, and then double-click the Printers and Other

Hardware icon.

-or-

For Windows Vista: Click Computer, click Control Panel, and then click Hardware and Sound.

2. Click Add Printer, and then click Next.

3. When asked if the product is a local or network product, select Local printer attached to this

computer, and then click Next.

NOTE: Do not select the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer option.

4. On the Select a Printer Port screen, select the USB Print port that was created by a previous

USB installation, and then click Next.

5. On the Install Printer Software screen, click the Have Disk... button. The Install from Disk

dialog box appears.

6. Insert the printing-system software CD into the CD-ROM drive.

7. Click Browse..., and then select the printer driver for the product.

8. Click Open.

9. On the Install from Disk dialog box, click OK.

10. Click Next. Complete the installation. When prompted, print a test page to ensure that the printer

driver is installed correctly.
