Getting Authorized
Authorizations are viral for this printer. Ask anyone who's already authorized to authorize you.
Setting up the printer on your computer
The Artastic computer is a good place to start to print from, but you may want to print from your own computer.
The Fast Way
You can search for devices and install the device via your OS. The dialog that this displays is very clean any easy to use but is lacking in control, in particular specifying custom paper sizes. This particular print dialog only shows the page type and name, so you may want to go find out what the actual dimensions of each paper size are to save a little time.
The Better Way
The best way to install the driver is go to HP's website and install the driver meant for you operating system. Under the section "Driver - Product installation software" you should find a download called something to the effect of "HP Designjet T520 printer series HP-GL/2 and HP RTL Full Feature Solution Installer". This is a lengthier installation but gives you much greater control over print parameters, including selecting custom paper sizes. You have to create and save a custom paper size to get a particular paper dimension in the print dialog.
