Printer Model

To use your printer in Windows, select your printer model from the drop-down list.

In order to continue, you must select a printer model.


Ports
Printer Port

Select the port to which you connected your printer when you set it up. LPT ports are parallel ports. COM ports are serial ports. The HP DeskJet 510, 520, and 560C printers do not have a serial port.

If you already have an active printer installed on your system, that port will be your default port. If no other printers are installed on your system, you will probably want to select LPT1:.


Default Printer

If you do not wish to make this printer your default printer, click this checkbox to remove the "x." The default printer is the printer to which your documents will be sent until you change printers through the Control Panel.


Continued Installation
Continue Installation

Once you have selected your printer model and printer port, click this button to continue the installation process. Installation may take several minutes. You may cancel installation at any time during the process. A message will appear when the installation process is complete telling you that printer setup was successful. You will also be offered an option to review a README.TXT file containing information about the printer driver and suggestions for printing with specific software applications.


Continue_Install
Continue Installation

The Continue Installation option installs the printer driver on the system.

You select your specific HP DeskJet printer model and printer port, and identify the printer as the default printer.
