How do I find the proxy port on my HP printer?

How do I install this driver?

I can't remember the proxy port for my printer. How do I find it? How do I install the driver? Thanks for your help! You are welcome. The proxy port is found here: My HP Printer -> Driver settings -> Proxy Configuration settings. After you click to change settings, you will have an option to check to find out if that proxy port is active or not. There is no need to download anything. Open the file, then click install. You can print a test page. I did the same thing last night to test what I had downloaded, and it worked great.

Sorry I didn't explain any better in my response, but there really isn't anything more to say about this. It works as well as it should.

Thanks for posting this. I had heard good things about their drivers, but I was looking for some more detailed explanation of how to use it.

Can you recommend anything other than Epson or Canon for inkjet printers? All I really use the printer for is to be able to print text/letters with a nice clear font (eg Arial, Trebuchet), and also have access to an onscreen printer. For inkjet printers, nothing else compares to the quality and availability of Epson/Canon. Do they really make that many people choose those 2 printers only? It seems weird to me, when I go to a site and look at its best selling products. HP is the biggest seller. I have not seen anything else in this particular category. That isn't what we're here for though.

What does a proxy do on a printer?

For starters, what does a proxy do on your screen?

It makes your screen look like the printer is doing what it is doing. You may need a lot of screen space just to tell if something is done right or wrong but it allows you to see the printout much faster than if you had to actually make an effort to look at the screen while the thing is actually printing.

You are welcome to use your imagination for more reasons but it is unlikely that your printer is going to be used for anything more than "print stuff" and then eventually the paper will end up in the recycling bin. At least if you own the equipment.

A printer's job is to reproduce data stored as patterns on a rotating cylinder on a drum. The job of the computer is to send it patterns stored in memory which can be a variety of different types, most commonly bitmap data (such as your photographs), but also vector art, PDF files and other types. If you send the printer the exact same data in each format, and ask it to make the exact same amount of each, then it has to be doing the same job. It's not magic, it's just a really well programmed printer.

What port is my proxy?

The web proxy server is a program that sits on your computer and can be accessed by your browser to connect to the internet.

Some browsers will automatically use the proxy server you installed when you connect to the internet. When you type in the web address of a website in your browser, it goes through the proxy server to the internet, then the proxy server takes your request to the website and returns the webpage.

If you are not using a web proxy server, you will need to manually configure your browser to use the proxy server. This is most easily done in the Internet Options dialog box found in the Control Panel. You can also set the default browser with Internet Options.

To get to the Internet Options dialog box, click on the gear button on the far right side of your browser window. Then select Internet Options from the list that appears.

Figure 1: Internet Options dialog box. When you reach the Internet Options dialog box, click on the Connections tab and then click on the LAN Settings button (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Internet Options dialog box. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click on the Advanced button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box will open. At the bottom of the dialog box is the Proxy Server text box.

Figure 3: Internet Properties dialog box. Enter the IP address or domain name of your web proxy server into this text box. Then click OK. Your browser will now use the proxy server when it connects to the internet.

You can also configure the default browser to use the web proxy server. To do this, go to Internet Options and click on the Default Settings button (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Internet Options dialog box. In the Internet Properties dialog box, click on the Programs button. Select your default browser from the list that appears. In the General tab, click on the Options button. In the Options dialog box, click on the Advanced button. In the Advanced tab, you will see the option for Network Settings. Click on this option. In the Network Settings dialog box, select Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then select the network proxy server from the list of servers and click OK. This will now set your browser as the default browser.
