Windows installation for computers on a network
Each networked computer that has the printing-system software installed has access to all of the product

NOTE: You must have administrator privileges to install the software.
1. Quit all open programs.

NOTE: If the CD does not start automatically, click Start, click Run, and then browse to and
double-click the SETUP.EXE file in the root directory of the CD.
3. Follow the onscreen prompts to install the software.
4. When the Installer software prompts you to select how the product will be connected, select
Through the network, and then click Next. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Install the printer drivers by using the add-printer wizard
The printing-system software installer does not support Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. To
install the printer drivers on computers running one of these operating systems, use a plug-and-play
installation for direct USB product connections, or an add-printer-wizard installation for network-
connected products.
Download the appropriate driver from
www.hp.com/support/ljp2050series. Use the Plug and Play
Package for a direct USB connection. Use the Print Driver Only Package for a network connection.
Follow the installation instructions on the Web.
