Driver Installation

Windows 7

• Down the correct drivers. For most HP printers, the drivers below will work.
  • Windows XP/Vista/7/8 32 Bit - Upd-ps-x32-5.8.0.17508.exe
  • Windows XP/Vista/7/8 64 Bit - Upd-ps-x64-5.8.0.17508.exe
  • If your printer will not work with the HP Universal Printer Driver or you are connecting to a non- HP printer, you will need to go to the Printer Manufacture website to download the correct drivers. For HP, you can go to Drivers in the search box type in the model of your printer and click the >> search button. Select your operating system from the list. Now Download the driver for your printer (We recommend downloading the PostsScript Driver).
  • Once you've downloaded the drivers you will need to double click on the file. It should extract the file into C:\HP Universal Print Driver PostScript v5.1.0.1 or something similar for HP printers.
• Open the Devices and Printers window by going to: Start -> Devices and Printers

  

• Click "Add Printer" from the top tool bar

  

• Click the option to add a local printer

  

• Choose "Create a new port, and in the drill down menu select "Standard TCP/IP Port"

  

• Input the IP Address of the printer you want to add

  

• If the drivers for the printer are not already available on your computer, this dialogue box will show up. First click "Windows Update" and after it is done updating, select your printer from the list and click "Next"

  

• If the printer is not listed click on Have Disk... Browse to the directory where you saved your drivers and select it. Click OK. Now you should see your printer in the list.
• Accept the printer name and click next

  

• Check the box if you wish for this printer to be your default printer, and click "Print a Test Page". Once the page comes out, click finish

  

• Double check to make sure the new printer is installed properly by going back to Printers and Devices as you did in the beginning
