Microsoft Windows general installation overview
Installation is similar for all supported Windows operating systems.
If the HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series printer is connected through a file or print server, the printing-
system software must be installed on the server before it is installed on any client systems. If the printing-
system software is not first installed on the server, bidirectional communication and some driver
autoconfiguration methods are not available to the client systems.
For Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista, the person
installing the software must have administrator rights on the system.
When the HP Color LaserJet CP1510 Series printing-system installer runs, the HP LaserJet uninstaller
is added to the system.
