Create your ﬁrst port and install the driver

1.After the port monitor is installed, the Add PhaserPort dialog box is displayed. Create your ﬁrst port:

a.In the Description ﬁeld, enter a name for the port (this can be the printer name/model, location, or any other descriptive name of your choice), such as Phaser 840.

b.In the Name/Address ﬁeld, enter the IP address or DNS name of the printer (for example, 192.1.1.2).

If you don’t know the printer’s IP address or DNS name, click Browse to display a list of printers on the network. Double-click the printer you want; PhaserPort automatically enters the information into the Add PhaserPort dialog. To search the network again, click Refresh; to narrow down the search by using subnets, click Advanced.

c.Click OK.

2.If you have NetWare software installed on your computer, you are asked if you want to install the PhaserShare Administrator software. If you also want to print using NetWare, choose Yes, then click Next.

3.If you chose to install drivers and PPD ﬁles earlier in the installation, the Finish Installation dialog displays information about the Add Printer Wizard. Read the information, then click Next to start the Add Printer Wizard, which allows you to install the driver for your printer. The drivers are on your printer’s CD-ROM.

If you did not choose to install drivers and PPD ﬁles earlier in the installation, go to Step 5.

4.Install the driver.

a.In the Add Printer Wizard, click Next. Choose Local printer, then click Next.

b.Click Have Disk, type the drive letter for the CD-ROM, and click OK.

c.Select your printer from the list, then click Next.

d.In the Available ports list, select the port you created during the ﬁrst part of the installation and click Next.
