HP LaserJet 6L - Installing the HP LaserJet 6 L Printer and Companion Using CD-ROM

Installing the HP LaserJet 6L Printer
and Companion Using CD-ROM
The HP LaserJet 6L Printer and Companion CD-ROM installs the
drivers and the PaperPort for HP software onto your computer’s hard
drive. The CD-ROM contains software solutions that support both
Windows
3.1 x and Windows 95.
Note
You will be given the option to install the HP LaserJet 6L Printer
software or the HP LaserJet Companion software or both.
Installing the Software
1 Quit all applications, including virus checkers.
2 Insert the HP LaserJet 6L Printer and Companion compact disc into the
CD-ROM drive (usually D).
3 If you are running Windows 95, click Start and then click Run.
4 If you are running Windows 3.1 x , click File from the Program Manager
and choose Run.
5 Type D:\SETUP in the Open Command Line box.
6 Click OK.
7 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Note
The serial number has already been entered by HP. If you need to
re-enter the serial number, it is located on the back of the compact disc
case.
Note If you encounter a communication problem, you might need to change
your computer’s parallel port mode. For more information on changing
your parallel port mode, see the
Guide to Changing the Parallel Port
Mode in Setup
included with your HP LaserJet Companion.
During installation, if you get the message “HP LaserJet 6L printer has
not been found,” check the power cord connections and power source.
Also, make sure you are using a high-quality IEEE-1284 compliant
parallel cable. If, after checking these items, you still see the
“HP LaserJet 6L printer has not been found” message, click Continue to
proceed with the PCL driver installation.
If the installation could not be successfully completed, see the
Alternative Installation instructions later in this chapter.
Note
If, after installing the software and restarting Windows 95, your computer
displays the message “New Hardware Detected” and lists the HP
LaserJet 6L printer, you will want to select “Do not install a driver
(Windows will not prompt you again)” and click OK.
