To use the printer-driver only software solution with a direct USB connection, a USB Print port must have already been created by a previous installation of the printing-system software. There are several direct USB printing-system software installation options that establish a USB Print port:

Complete an installation using the in-box printing-system software CD.

Download the "Full Solution", which provides installation options identical to the printing-system software CD.

Download the "Host-based Plug and Play Scan/Print Driver Solution", which provides the same features as an Easy Install using the printing-system software CD.

Once a USB Print port is created by a previous direct USB installation, the printer-driver installation can be completed using that USB Print port.

Use the following instructions to install the printer driver only:

1.Click Start, and then do one of the following:

For Windows 2000: Select Settings, and then click Printers.

-or-

For Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional: Select Settings, and then click Printers and Faxes.

-or-

For Windows XP Home: Click Control Panel, and then double-click the Printers and Other Hardware icon.

-or-

For Windows Vista: Click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Printers.

2.Click Add Printer, and then click Next.

3.When asked if the product is a local or network product, select Local printer attached to this computer, and then click Next.

NOTE: Do not select the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer option.

4.On the Select a Printer Port screen, select the USB Print port that was created by a previous USB installation, and then click Next.

5.On the Install Printer Software screen, click Have Disk.... The Install from Disk dialog box appears.

6.Insert the printing-system software CD into the CD-ROM drive.

7.Click Browse..., and then select the printer driver for the product.

To install the host-based printer driver, navigate to the root folder of the CD (where X is the letter of the CD-ROM drive) and select the HPM1319.INF file.
