HP Windows Vista and XP Setup
**NOTE: DO NOT PLUG THE PRINTER IN YET! WAIT UNTIL PROMPTED.**
Step 1) Insert the Setup Disc into the computer and an auto run should pop up. Click to run the setup.exe. (If in XP, this popup may look different, or it may just start automatically).
Step 2) From this screen, press the Install button
Step 3) Press the Next button and, if you have any software that may block the installer, either press "Unblock" "Yes" "Allow" or "Permit" to allow the installer to continue.
Step 4) On this window, choose Advanced Install in order to avoid all of the additional software that is not needed to use the printer.
Step 5) Select Check for updates automatically, and then press Next
Step 6) This screen will probably come up, and if it has an update, allow it to run. Then click Next.
Step 7) From this next screen, choose "Custom (for advanced users)*" and then press Next.
Step 8) Only put a check next to the entries indicated in the picture below.
(These are the selections that the IT Help Center recommends, but if you click on each one, it will give a description of what each option does, so if you see something you like, feel free to also put a check next to those.)
Again, press Next to continue.
Step 9) Read and press I Agree to agree to the EULA and continue with the software installation.
Step 10) It's recommended to leave the default installation folder, so just click on Next.
Step 11) The installer should remain at this screen for a bit while it is installing...
Step 12) When you see this screen, you can plug your printer into the computer via USB.
Step 13) After plugging in the printer, the installer will set up the printer to work with your computer.
Step 14) The program will bring back this screen and continue to install more software...
Step 15) The software should be all installed now, so press Finish.
Step 16) The installer will now ask you to register, fill out a survey and sign up for a mailing list. This step is optional and can be done at a later time, so feel free to press Cancel.
Step 17) You can chose to request a reminder to register at a later time, or to never be reminded. The window also has the information on how to start up the registration proccess at a later time. Select when you would like to be reminded (if ever) and then press OK.
Step 18) This new window will come up, and we recommend you press Print Test Page. Then a smaller window will pop up, and you should click Print Page. A test image will be printed now.

Tray icon: 
Clicking either of these will launch the HP Solution Center which has ink level monitors, links to buy new ink, and other things to do with your new printer... Here's a sample of what this looks like:
