Printing with the optional HP Fast InfraRed
Receiver
The optional HP Fast InfraRed Receiver enables wireless printing
from any IRDA-compliant portable device (such as a laptop computer)
to the HP LaserJet Series printers.
The printing connection is maintained by positioning the sending
infrared (FIR) port within operating range. Note that the connection
can be blocked by objects such as a hand, paper, direct sunlight, or
any bright light shining into either FIR port.
Note For more information, see the user guide that came with the HP Fast
InfraRed Receiver.
If your operating system does not have infrared software installed,
contact your computer manufacturer for drivers and installation
instructions.

Setting up to print with Macintosh computers
The first step for setting up an infrared printer is creating a Desktop
Printer icon using the Desktop Printer Utility. By default, the Desktop

extensions are not active. In addition, the infrared print capability is
possible only with the HP LaserWriter version 8.6 driver or later.
