In many cases this is the same driver that is
used for a direct (non-networked) printer
connection, and you can probably find the
driver on the CD that came with the printer.
(In fact, some printers come with the network
installer program on the printer CD. If your
printer is one of these, the simplest way to
install your network printer is to run the
installer from the printer CD instead of from
the HP Jetdirect CD, since the installer knows
where to find the driver on the printer CD. For

If you want to make sure of having the latest
driver for your printer, you can download it
from the Web. If your printer is an HP printer
and you are running the installer in the
"Autoconfigure network settings for me" mode,
you can select the option to download a driver
automatically from the Internet. The installer
will search the HP support site for a driver for
your printer and, if it finds one, will
automatically download it and install it for you.
If you don't select the option to download a
driver automatically from the Internet, you can
download one manually before you run the
installer. The HP support site at
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html
has current drivers for most HP printers.

You may be able to find the driver on your
operating system disc. If the operating system
is more recent than the printer, it probably
includes a driver for that printer.

If you previously had a direct connection from
your computer to the same printer, or a
network connection to another printer of the
same model, the network printer installer may
be able to use the driver that is already on your
computer.
The installer software takes the driver location you
specify, finds the driver, and installs it in your system.
Once the installer has finished, you are ready for
network printing from your computer.
The End
When installing the network printing software, some
users are unsure when the installation is complete.
When the network printer is installed on your
computer and you can print to it, the installation is
complete.
Confusion sometimes arises in the situation when you
have two CDs -- a printer CD and the HP Jetdirect CD --
and you have just finished the installation from the
printer CD. It is common to wonder whether you
should run the installer on the Jetdirect CD as well. You
don't need to. Once your network printer prints
successfully, you're done with the installation on that
computer. (Of course, if you are installing the network
