+On the second dialog box, give the printer a useful name (perhaps the same as the CW names?)

+Then finish, and print a test page!
+
+===== Windows XP =====
+
+First, download the drivers from the hp site. Navigate to the drivers download section from hp.com,
+and download the drivers for the printer you want to install. Double click on the downloaded file,
+and pay attention to where the files install. 
+Then, control panel->Printers->Add a printer. The printers are 'network printer, or a printer attacjed to another computer'.
+Click Next. Then connect to a printer via a URL. For the IPP printers, the URL is http://cricket.astro.columbia.edu/ipp/port1
+Then choose the printer type in the next dialog box; click 'have disk'. Then browse to the location that the drivers unpacked
+to. And you are done.
