Step 4: For other HP printers or non-HP printers:
Use the Jetdirect CD to install the printer on your network. (You will need to know
where your printer driver is located. See

more information.)
Note: An HP Web Jetadmin CD-ROM may also be included with selected HP
Jetdirect products. HP Web Jetadmin is a feature-rich printer management tool.
However, it is not required for network printer installation.
Where do I find the printer driver?
At some point late in the installation, the installer software needs to have the
printer driver to complete the installation. So at that point the installer may ask
you where to find the driver. Knowing where to find the driver is usually the most
subtle part of the installation.
If you are running the installer from your printer CD, the installer generally knows
right where to look for the driver -- on the CD. If you are running the installer from
the Jetdirect CD, the installer will probably need you to tell it where the driver is.
Here are a few places you can look:
●
The best source of a driver for your printer is the Web, because that gives
you the latest driver. (The drawback of getting your driver from the Web is
that some drivers are quite large, and may take several minutes to download
at modem speeds. We think it's worth spending the time.) The HP support
site at
printers.
If your printer is an HP printer and you are running the installer from the
HP Jetdirect CD in the Autoconfigure network settings for me mode, you
can select the option to download a driver automatically from the Internet.
The installer will search the HP support site for a driver for your printer and,
if it finds one, will automatically download it and install it for you. If you
don't select the option to download a driver automatically from the Internet,
you can download one manually before you run the installer.
