About Installing Components on Your Computer
Before configuring the network interface and printing from the computer, you need to install the necessary components (such as TCP/IP, NetBEUI, etc.) and assign an IP address and subnet mask for your computer, depending on the printing method you want to use. See the section in this chapter appropriate for your operating system.
For Windows XP, use the following procedure to install the necessary components.
