When you connect to a network printer from a Windows NT workstation, the printer driver will be automatically installed if you use a Windows NT 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 HPPRINT.INF in the WINNT\<language>\CD1 subdirectory, where <language> is the language you are using.
To connect to a network printer from a Windows NT workstation, you must have administrator privileges on that workstation.
In Windows 95, 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.
