HP DesignJet 5000 PS3 Printer Driver for Windows 2000 English Version number: 4.29 The HP DesignJet 5000 PS3 Printer Driver enables you to print documents from any Windows 2000 application to a PostScript printer. System Requirements -- Microsoft Windows 2000 (English versions only) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS You should have Windows running and all applications closed. We recommend rebooting your computer before installing a driver. Standard Installation 1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions that appear on your screen. 2. If no instructions appear on your screen, run the setup.exe program on the CD-ROM. Manual Installation If you cannot or prefer not to use the standard installation process, you can install the driver from the CD-ROM by following these steps: 1. If the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by network without being stored on another computer, you must create a network port before installing the driver (consult your network documentation or network administrator). 2. Click Start, Settings, and then Printers to open the Printers dialog box. 3. Double-click the Add Printer icon to open the Add Printer Wizard dialog box. (We recommend that you do not use the New Driver button in the Printer Properties dialog box to install or upgrade this driver.) 4. Follow the steps displayed on your screen, answering the questions as appropriate. Below is some basic advice for some of the questions that you may be requested to answer, depending on your system configuration. You may be asked whether your printer is connected directly to your computer, or connected indirectly through another computer. Select: * "My computer" or "Local printer" if the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by cable or network without being stored on another computer. * "Network printer" if you will send output to the printer via another computer. In this case, all settings for the printer are managed by a printer server that has been set up by an administrator. You may be asked the manufacturer and model of your printer. Click Have Disk... In the Install From Disk dialog box, enter the location of the driver on the CD-ROM (the same folder as this ReadMe file) and click OK. Select your HP DesignJet printer from the list and click Next. If you want to install several drivers you will need to repeat this procedure. You may be asked whether you want to keep the existing driver or use the new one. Select "Replace existing driver". If you are installing files for a new version and you see this question, we recommend replacing the existing driver. You may be asked whether you want to print a test page. We recommend that you select "Yes". By printing a test page you will test the communications link between your system and the printer. If you are sharing the driver with Windows 95 or 98, you may be informed that a file from Windows 95 or 98 is needed. All the necessary files are located one folder up from this ReadMe file, in the "Win95" folder.Download Driver Pack
