Windows Printer Installation


The following screenshots will guide you through a typical Lexmark T630 installation on a WindowsXP workstation.
First, invoke the Add Printer Wizard, choose to use a network printer, and specify the TCP/IP address of the desired printer (above).

You can get the Lexmark T630 or HP4600 drivers from the wiki. Unzip them to your C:\ drive, then tell the Add Printer Wizard that you Have Disk:

Browse to find the files; representative paths are shown (these paths result automatically from the unzipping)

You will probably have to accept an unsigned driver.
It is preferable to choose the PCL (Page Control Language) driver option:

The HP4600 path is very similar to the Lexmark T630, if that's what you are installing:

Nothing we can do about this; accept the unsigned (Lexmark) driver, and wrap up your installation. You can print a test-page if you wish, to verify that it works.
