Installation options<br />

The <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software can be used with the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer in<br />

the following configurations:<br />

● Direct Connection. Install the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software on a computer that is<br />

directly connected to the product through a USB port and running Microsoft Windows 2000 or<br />

Microsoft Windows XP.<br />

In this configuration, the printer is not shared. A single user has complete physical control over the<br />

printer. In this configuration, access is available to all of the printer features.<br />

● Shared direct connection using Microsoft peer-to-peer networking. Install the<br />

<strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software on a computer that is directly connected to the product<br />

through a USB port and running Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft<br />

Windows Server 2003 . Then share the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer with other users on the network<br />

by using Microsoft Windows sharing.<br />

When you use Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network, the operating system<br />

handles all of the networking issues. The product prints in this configuration, but only the local<br />

computer can use the <strong>HP</strong> ToolboxFX. Also, because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is<br />

unidirectional, network users do not receive printer-status messages when they print to the product.<br />

NOTE: <strong>HP</strong> does not support vending drivers across operating systems that have different printdriver<br />

architectures, such as <strong>HP</strong> Traditional drivers and <strong>HP</strong> Unidrivers. To use a mix of operating<br />

systems, download and install an alternative print driver for the specific operating system.<br />

● Network connection using onboard networking. Install the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system<br />

software on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP and that<br />

has access to a local area network (LAN) to which the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer is also connected .<br />

The <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>n, the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>dn, and the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>x printers have<br />

onboard networking that connects to a LAN through a 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port.<br />

The following elements are required for a networked <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer:<br />

◦ An installed network that uses the TCP/IP network protocol<br />

◦ A cable for your type of network connection (not included)<br />

Microsoft Windows installation for direct connections<br />

Use the following instructions to install the product software on a computer that is running Microsoft<br />

Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP.<br />

NOTE: Set up and turn on the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer before installing the printing-system<br />

software. Do not connect the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer to the computer until the software prompt<br />

appears.<br />

NOTE: You must have Administrator privileges to install the printing-system software on Microsoft<br />

Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP.<br />

1. Quit all open programs.<br />

2. Insert the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software CD into the CD-ROM drive.<br />

NOTE: If the CD does not start automatically, click Start, click Run, and then browse to and<br />

double-click the SETUP.EXE file in the root directory of the CD.<br />
