			These screenshots will guide you through an installation of an HP Color Laserjet 4600 on a Windows 7 workstation. To begin, click on Start > Devices and Printers.<br>
			Click on '''Add a Printer'''.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-01.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			In the next dialog box, click on '''Add a local printer'''.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-02.jpg]]<br>
			<br><br>
			When prompted for the printer port, choose to create a new '''Standard TCP/IP Port'''.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-03.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			Specify the printer you want to add. In this case, it is sr-isoroku, and its full address is sr-isoroku.iat.sfu.ca. (All Research printers will have their network name listed on the front.) You can use the default Port Name or create your own. Let the system query the printer and automatically choose the printer driver to use. Note: Your Windows 7 installation should already contain the drivers needed for the lab's printers. If not, please contact the Research IT support group.
			<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-04.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			Use the driver that is currently installed.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-05.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			Enter a name for the printer. We suggest using the name of the printer, along with a description of the printer type (ie: b/w laser or colour laser).<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-06.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			Generally speaking, there's no need to share the printer.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-07.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			On the last step, you can choose to set the printer as your default printer. To keep toner costs down, we strongly recommend that you do not use colour printers as your default printer. In the interest of saving paper, there's no need to print a test page.<br>
			[[File:windows7-printer-install-08.jpg]]
			<br><br><br>
			Your printer installation is now complete.

The following screenshots will guide you through a typical Lexmark T630 installation on a WindowsXP workstation.
 
First, invoke the Add Printer Wizard, choose to use a network printer, and specify the TCP/IP address of the [[Printers#Printers|desired printer (above)]].

 
[[Image:Printers_windows.PNG]]

 
You can get the [[Media:Lexmark_AAG_MultiWin_Drivers_en.exe|Lexmark T630]] or [[Media:Clj4600pcl6win2kxp2003-en.exe|HP4600]] drivers from the wiki. Unzip them to your C:\ drive, then tell the Add Printer Wizard that you Have Disk:

 
[[Image:Printer_setup3_screenshot.png]]

 
[[Image:Printer_setup4_screenshot.png]]

 
Browse to find the files; representative paths are shown (these paths result automatically from the unzipping)

 
[[Image:Connecting_printers_4.PNG]]

 
You will probably have to accept an unsigned driver. 
It is preferable to choose the PCL (Page Control Language) driver option:

 
[[Image:Printer_setup6_screenshot.png]]

 
The HP4600 path is very similar to the Lexmark T630, if that's what you are installing:

 
[[Image:Printer_setup6a_screenshot.png]]

 
[[Image:Printer_setup6b_screenshot.png]] 

 
Nothing we can do about this; accept the unsigned (Lexmark) driver, and wrap up your installation. You can print a test-page if you wish, to verify that it works.
