4.1 Introduction
This section describes how to setup network printing using the
HP JetDirect print server and software.
4.2 Server Configurations
4.2.1 Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0, (TCP/IP or IPX/SPX)
Note: You may encounter problems printing with IPX/SPX in Windows NT 4.0.
Larger print jobs may stop mid-page and continuously re-spool. We
recommend that you use TCP/IP instead.
There are 2 methods to configure the printer onto the network.
Option 1
Step 1 – Install HP JetAdmin
1. Insert the HP JetDirect CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. If
the installation program does not run automatically, access
File Manager or Explorer and run SETUP.EXE on the CD-ROM.
2. Select the option to install JetAdmin and follow the
instructions on the screen.
Step 2 – Install HP 2500C/CM Printer Software
1. If you are running Windows NT 4.0, log onto the computer
as system administrator.
2. Insert the Starter CD or PostScript CD into your CD-ROM
drive. If the installation program does not run automatically,
access File Manager or Explorer and run SETUP.EXE on the
CD-ROM.
3. When prompted to select Local/Existing or Network in the
Printer Ports group, select Local/Existing.
Step 3 – Associate Printer Software with JetDirect Port
1. In the Printers Folder select HP 2500C/CM Printer, right
click the mouse and select Properties.
2. Select Details tab, click Add Port, click Other.
3. Select a new port to print to your printer and click OK.
