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
Installation is similar for the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating
systems. The Windows NT 4.0 operating system does not support the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printer.
NOTE The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver, the HP Traditional PCL 5 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 Color LaserJet 4700 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 and some
driver autoconfiguration methods are not available to the client systems.
For Windows 2000, and Windows XP, administrator rights on the system are necessary to install the
software.
When the HP Color LaserJet 4700 printing-system installer runs, the HP LaserJet uninstaller is always
added to the system.
