**NOTE: If asked to use the driver currently installed or to replace it with the new driver, select "Replace...,"
and click Next.**
Choose a name for your printer and click Next. Decide whether you want to share the printer or not and
choose the appropriate answer, then click Next.
If you installed a raster or GDI printer, do not click the "Print Test Page" button at this point; just click Finish.
If you installed a Postscript printer, or one of the models bundled with Vista, you may print a test page at this
point if you wish. After the page prints click Finish. Your new printer should appear in the Printers control
panel now.
8. For Postscript printers, or those bundled with Vista, installation is complete. For raster or GDI printers,
right-click on the icon for your printer and select "Properties" from the list. Click on the "Ports" tab and you
will notice that the port selected is FILE, not the Standard TCP/IP port we created. Scroll through the list of
available ports and you will find the one we created earlier in the process (named "IP_xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx," with
the x's representing the IP address of the printer). Click the checkbox next to the correct port and click the
"Apply" button in the bottom right corner. Click on the General tab and click the "Print Test Page" button and
make sure it prints correctly. Installation is complete.
1. When you connect your printer to the PC for the first time the Found New Hardware Wizard will open (fig.
O). Click "Locate and install driver software...," then click "Don't search online" in the next window (fig. P).
