Connecting Network Clients to the Printer
After installing the software on a workstation, you must connect
workstation to the printer.
• Workstations in Windows 95 can be connected to the print server or
directly to the printer.
• Workstations in Windows NT and Windows 3.1 can be connected to the
print server.
To connect workstations to the print server
Connect the printer drivers to the printer on the proper port.
• In Windows 3.1, double-click Printers in the Control Panel, then select
Connect to connect the printer driver to the network. If the network port
is not visible in the Ports list, then click Network and complete the
Connect to Network dialog box.
• In Windows 95, select the printer in the Printers folder. Then from the
File menu, select Properties. Select the correct port on the Details tab.
If the port is not present, click Add Port and browse for the correct path
to the printer.
• When you connect to a network printer from a Windows NT
workstation, the printer driver will be automatically installed if you use
a Windows NT server. If the operating system is unable to install the
driver from the server, you can install the driver from the CD-ROM. If
you are prompted for the driver, browse for HPPRINT.INF in the
WINNT\<language>\CD1 subdirectory, where <language> is the
language you are using.
Note To connect to a network printer from a Windows NT workstation, you
must have administrator privileges on that workstation.
