Set up the MFP and use it on the network
Hewlett-Packard recommends using the HP software installer available on the MFP CD-ROMs to install
necessary software in the following network setups.
Configure a network port-connected MFP configuration (direct mode
or peer-to-peer printing)
In this configuration, the MFP is connected directly to the network, and all computers on the network
print directly to the MFP.
NOTE This mode is the recommended network configuration for the MFP.
1. Connect the MFP directly to the network by inserting a network cable into the MFP network port.
Then power on the MFP.
2. At the MFP, print a configuration report. See
Networking page (HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP
only).
3. Insert the MFP CD-ROM into the computer. If the MFP is already set up, click Install Software to
start the software installer. If the software installer does not start, navigate to the hpzsetup.exe file
on the CD-ROM and double-click the file.
4. On the Welcome screen, click Next and follow the prompts.
5. For Windows 2000 and XP, on the Installation Options screen, choose the installation option.
Hewlett-Packard suggests a recommended installation, if the system supports it.
NOTE For Windows Server 2003, use Add Printer Wizard to install the print driver.
Scanning is not supported in this network configuration for Windows Server 2003.
6. On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network, then click Next.
7. On the Identify Printer screen, identify the MFP either by searching or by specifying a hardware
or IP address, which is listed on the Configuration page printed earlier. Click Next.
8. Allow the installation process to complete.
NOTE To install additional printer drivers (PS or PCL6 black and white) use the Add
Printer Wizard and choose the network port that was created during the network installation
from the MFP CD-ROM. Additional printer drivers are located on the MFP CD-ROM in
the Drivers folder.
Configure a direct-connected shared MFP (client server printing)
In this configuration, the MFP is connected to a computer through a USB cable, the computer is
connected to the network, and the MFP is shared with other computers on the network.
