If the printer you are trying to install is available in the INSTALL THE PRINT DRIVER dialogue, select it and say NEXT, then FINISH. From the right side of the table select the PRINTER MODEL. From the left side of the table, select the MANUFACTURER of the printer. If your computer was not able to locate a driver for the printer, or if you got the error above asking for additional port information, the next dialogue will ask you to INSTALL THE PRINT DRIVER.
Leave the choice as STANDARD, GENERIC NETWORK CARD, and select NEXT. It will ask you for a DEVICE TYPE, Standard or Custom. If you get a dialogue stating ADDITIONAL PORT INFORMATION REQUIRED, the printer is probably not connected to the network. If the printer installs you just need to select FINISH. If it is not, you may need to print a “Printer Configuration Page” to get that information or contact the COE IT Department at: sure the box is checked in front of the QUERY THE PRINTER AND AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THE DRIVER TO USE, then select NEXT. The IP address will be in the format of: and is usually written or on a sticker attached to the printer itself. In the HOSTNAME OR IP ADDRESS field enter the printers IP address you want to install. The “TYPE A PRINTER HOSTNAME OR IP ADDRESS” dialogue will appear. Once you have selected Create a New Port, select the type of port, which will be a Standard TCP/IP Port, then click Next. If the port exists, it will be the same as the IP address or machine name for the printer. In the unlikely event this printer was previously installed on your computer, you can look in the list under the “Use an existing port” selection. Unless you have had this printer installed on your computer previously, in the “Choose a printer port” dialogue, select Create a New Port. Even though the printer is indeed a networked printer, you must add it as a LOCAL printer. NOTE: This is the counter intuitive part. Toward the top left of the dialogue that appears select Add A Printer. Go to the Start menu, and choose Devices and Printers.
