This section installs the Wireless PrintServer’s software on your Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT, 2000 or XP computers to give them Wireless PrintServer printing abilities. The Wireless PrintServer is fully compatible with Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP environments.

At this point, you must have:

the Wireless PrintServer hardware installed on your network. If not, see Chapter 3: Hardware Installation.

TCP/IP installed on each of your computers.

an IP address assigned to each of the computers on your network. If not, see Chapter 9: DHCP Support for the Wireless PrintServer.

an IP address assigned to the PrintServer. By default the PrintServer has DHCP enabled. If you need to assign an IP address, go to Chapter 5: Bi- Admin: PrintServer Management.

This setup should be completed on the network administrator’s computer before all other users’ computers on the network. The Wireless PrintServer’s IP address will be assigned in this first installation on the network administrator’s computer only; this takes three extra steps.

It is assumed that your CD-ROM drive’s letter name is designated as D. If your CD drive is named another letter, replace all instances of D with the appropri- ate letter.

If you need to install the Wireless PrintServer’s driver on computers without a CD-ROM drive, you can create a setup disk by using a computer with a CD- ROM drive to copy the contents of D:\Driver\Win9xNT onto a floppy disk.
