Install the software for a network connection
Use this section to install the HP Photosmart software on a computer connected to a
network. Before you install the software, make sure you have connected the
HP Photosmart to a network.
NOTE: If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make
sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the
software. Otherwise, the HP Photosmart software installer might try to use one of the
reserved drive letters and you will not be able to access that network drive on your
computer.
NOTE: Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your
operating system, the amount of available space, and the processor speed of your
computer.

Connect to additional computers on a network
You can connect the HP Photosmart to a small number of computers on a network. If the
HP Photosmart is already connected to a computer on a network, for each additional
computer you must install the HP Photosmart software. During installation of a wireless
connection, the software will discover the product on the network. Once you have set up
the HP Photosmart on the network you will not need to configure it again when you add
additional computers.
NOTE: You can connect the HP Photosmart to either a wireless or wired network,
but not both at the same time.
