Installing in Linux (CUPS)

  • Open up http://localhost:631/ in a web browser

  • Click the "Administration" tab
  • Then it asks me for a username and password. Using the standard root controls user/pwd worked.

  • You should see the above printers listed. Click the "Add Printer" button next to one of them.
  • If you don't see it listed, for the grazia add it as socket://131.215.115.220:9100

Installing in Windows

How to print to the networked HP laser printers from Windows.

  • In the Printers control panel, choose "Add a printer."
  • Despite your best instincts, choose "Local printer attached to this computer." Uncheck "Automatically detect." Click "Next."
  • Choose "Create a new port" with Type Of Port set to "Standard TCP/IP Port." Click "Next."
  • Enter the IP address of the printer. Click "Next."
  • Windows should now be able to talk to the printer and find out what it needs to know. Click "Finish."
  • Select a printer driver. For the LaserJet 5000N, Windows XP already has the driver you need. For the Laserjet 2550, you have to download one from HP.
