IMPORTANT: Use only the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD to install the Hewlett-Packard PCL 5e printer
driver designated for your Hewlett-Packard or TROY printer. Some of the steps listed below
and/or software screens may differ slightly in appearance depending on your operating system.
IMPORTANT: If connecting a TROY printer to a print server, load and configure the TROY printer driver on the
print server only. Do not
load the printer driver on the local workstation(s). Load only the screen
fonts on local workstation(s), and then “Connect” to the TROY printer attached to the print server.
1. Close all applications before installing the HP PCL 5e printer driver.
2. Insert the TROY Security Printing Solutions CD into your computer CD drive.

your computer. If you already know the operating system you are using, proceed directly to step #4. If
you are not sure, right-click on My Computer (located on the Windows desktop), and then click on
Properties to view the type of operating system installed on your computer.

7. From the Install From Disk window, click on Browse.
8. From the Open window, click on the down-arrow in the Drives box to select the CD-ROM drive on
your computer.
9. Double-click on the appropriate folder for the operating system you are using (e.g., Win98, etc.).
10. Double-click on the appropriate subfolder for the model printer you are using (e.g., 3005). If applicable
for your model of printer, be sure to select either the USB or standard parallel (LPT1) printer. Click on
OK to close the Open window, and then click on OK to close the Install From Disk window.

printer name to the name of the TROY printer you are installing (e.g., TROY MICR 3005 Secure EX
Printer) by typing over the highlighted printer name. If you want to use this printer as your default
printer, be sure to select this printer as the default printer. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, choose
to either share or not share your printer over the network.
