Printer software installation
1. Make a note of the printer's IP address from the front panel (see Access the Embedded Web Server
on page 28).
2. Insert the HP Start-up Kit DVD into your computer. If the DVD does not start automatically, run the
setup.exe program in the root folder of the DVD.
3. When the T830/T730 window appears on your screen, click Software and then Install.
4. Your Web browser opens to display the rest of the software installation procedure. You must select
Windows or Mac OS X software, and choose which specic software you want to install (by default, all of
it). If your computer fails to nd any printers on the network, the Printer Not Found window is
displayed, which helps you to try to nd your printer. If you have a rewall in operation; you may have to
disable it temporarily in order to nd the printer. You also have the options of searching for the printer
by its hostname, IP address, or MAC address.
In some cases, when the printer is not in the same sub-net as the computer, specifying the printer's IP
address may be the only successful option.
