11-16 Chapter 11 Setting Up, Configuring, and Troubleshooting Printers
Note If you already have a printer connected to the LPT1 port, select LPT2: (Printer Port) in
step 6.
7. On the Install Printer Software page, in the Manufacturer list, select HP. In the
Printers list, select HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS printer. Click Next.
Note The selected driver is digitally signed to ensure reliability and to protect your system.
Driver signing is covered in Chapter 6, “Installing, Managing, and Troubleshooting Hardware
Devices and Drivers.”
8. On the Name Your Printer page, in the Printer Name list box, the Add Printer Wizard
suggests a printer name based on the printer model. For this exercise, do not
change this name.
9. If other printers are already installed, the wizard also asks whether you want to
make this the default printer. If the Add Printer Wizard displays the Do You Want
To Use This Printer As The Default Printer message, click Yes.
10. Click Next to continue.
11. On the Printer Sharing page, click Share Name.
12. In the Share Name box, type Printer1, and then click Next.
Note The Add Printer Wizard suggests a share name that is a shortened version of the
printer name. The shared printer name is used to identify a printer on the network. Some
operating systems (such as Windows 3.1) recognize share names up to only 12 characters. If
such clients will connect to the printer, you should use a name that is 12 characters or fewer;
otherwise, you can use a longer name.
13. On the Location And Comment page, type second floor west and in the Comment
text box type mail room–room 2624. Click Next.
Note If your computer running Windows XP Professional is part of a domain, Windows
2000 displays the values that you enter for Location and Comment when a user searches
Active Directory for a printer. Entering this information is optional, but it can help users locate
the printer more easily.
14. On the Print Test Page page, you can specify whether to print a test page to confirm
that your printer is set up properly. Because this exercise does not require that
you have a printer, click No, and then click Next. When you are actually setting up
a printer, you should print a test page to confirm that it is working properly.
