Supported configurations
Direct (local) connections
The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer is connected directly to the host computer with Universal
Serial Bus (USB) cable or a parallel (HP LaserJet 1015 only) cable. In this configuration, the
printer is not shared; a single user has complete physical control over the printer. Most users are
familiar with using peripherals that are directly connected to their computers. A user can gain
access to all of the capabilities of the printer in this configuration.
Network connections
The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer also supports network connections with an HP Jetdirect print
server. This print server is optional for the HP LaserJet 1010 series printer.
Wireless connections
The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer models also support the IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless
networking and Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity options. The available HP Jetdirect wireless
print servers and HP Bluetooth printer adapters attach on the back of the printer to either the USB
or parallel port.
IEEE 802.11b standard
With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the
office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or
Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing
solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Data transmission rates vary according to
system architecture and distance from the access point.
Use the HP Install Network Printer Wizard to install the network software.
Note HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.
