Installation instructions
The following sections provide instructions for installing the printer drivers on various Windows
operating systems.
General installation for Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating
systems
General installation instructions are similar for the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP operating systems.
NOTE For the Windows NT 4.0 operating system, the print drivers can be installed only by
using the Add Printer installation method. The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver, the HP Traditional
PCL 5e Driver, and the PS Emulation Driver are available on the printing-system software CD.
For more information, see the
Installing print drivers by using Add Printer section in this
chapter.
If the HP LaserJet 9050 printer is connected through a file or print server, the printing-system
software must first be installed on the server before being installed on any client systems. If the HP
LaserJet printing-system software is not first installed on the server, then bidirectional
communication, some driver autoconfiguration methods, and the HP Toolbox are not available to the
client systems.
For Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, administrator rights on the system are
necessary to install the software.
When the HP LaserJet 9050 printing-system installer runs, the HP LaserJet uninstaller is always
added to the system.
