- 
Before adding the new printer, you need to install
the Add-on component to support LPR printing.  (Note
that this is not done during the default XP installation,
and may not even be possible during a custom installation.)
- Insert the Windows XP Installation CD into the drive.
The installation dialog should automatically appear.  If it
does not, run "setup.exe" from the root directory of the CD.
 
- Select "Install Optional Windows Components".
 
- Select the checkbox for "Other Network and File Print Services".
 
NOTE: Do not uncheck things that are already checked.  Those
are things that were already installed during the normal installation.
 
 -  Select the "Next" button and wait for the installation to complete.
 
-  Select the "Finish" button to complete the installation.  And miraculously,
there should be NO reboot required!!!
 
-  Select "Exit" from the installation CD dialog.

- Select "HP" and "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PS" from the printer selection dialog
 
- Choose your local name for the printer (i.e. "Saginaw via LPR" or just "Saginaw")
and select the "Next button to continue.
 
- In most cases, leave the "Do not share this printer" button selected
and select the "Next button to continue.

and select the "Next button to continue.

- Right-click on the "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PS" printer entry and
select "Properties"
 
- Select the "Device Settings" tab on the Properties dialog
 
- If necessary, expand the "Installable Options" entry
