Installing Windows printing system software for networks
The software on the printer CD-ROM supports network installation with a Microsoft network.
For network installation on other operating systems, go to http://www.hp.com/support/
clj5550, or see the Network Installation Guide included with the printer.
The HP Jetdirect print server that is included with the HP LaserJet 5550n, HP LaserJet
5550dn printer, or HP LaserJet 5550dtn printer has a 10/100 Base-TX network port. If you
need an HP Jetdirect print server with another type of network port, see
Supplies and
accessories or go to http://www.hp.com/support/clj5550.
The installer does not support printer installation or printer object creation on Novell servers.
It supports only direct-mode network installations between Windows computers and a
printer. To install your printer and create objects on a Novell server, use an HP utility (such
as HP Web Jetadmin or HP Install Network Printer Wizard) or a Novell utility (such as
NWadmin).
To install the printing system software
1. If you are installing the software on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows Server
2003, or Windows XP, make sure that you have administrator privileges.
2. Make sure that the HP Jetdirect print server is configured correctly for the network by
printing a configuration page (see
Printer information pages). On the second page,
locate the printer IP address. You might need this address to complete network
installation. If the printer is using DHCP IP configuration, use the name on the second
page. Otherwise, if the printer is shut down for an extended period of time, DHCP does
not guarantee that the same IP address will be issued.
3. Close all software programs that are open or running.
4. Insert the printer CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If the welcome screen does not
open, start it by using the following procedure:
● On the Start menu, click Run.
● Type the following: X:/setup (where X is the letter of the CD-ROM drive).
● Click OK.
5. When prompted, click Install Printer and follow the instructions on the computer screen.
6. Click Finish when installation has completed.
7. You might need to restart the computer.
8. Print a Test Page or a page from any software program to make sure that the software is
