To connect workstations to the print server

Connect the printer drivers to the printer on the proper port.

zIn Windows 3.1, double-click Printers in the Control Panel, then select Connect to connect the printer driver to the network. If the network port is not visible in the Ports list, then click Network and complete the Connect to Network dialog box.

zIn Windows 9x, select the printer in the Printers folder. Then from the File menu, select Properties. Select the correct port on the Details tab. If the port is not present, click Add Port and browse for the correct path to the printer.

zWhen you connect to a network printer from a Windows NT or Windows 2000 workstation, the printer driver will be automatically installed if you use a Windows NT or Windows 2000 server. If the operating system is unable to install the driver from the server, you can install the driver from the CD-ROM. If you are prompted for the driver, browse for HPB8550S.INF (PostScript) or HPB8550C.INF (PCL 5c) in the \<language>\WINNT\<OS>\Disk1 subdirectory, where <language> is your currently selected language and <OS> is your current operating system.
