To install and print using the Microsoft stack
1. Make sure that you have installed the HP Photosmart software on the computer.
NOTE: The purpose of installing the software is to make sure the printer driver
is available for the Bluetooth
®
connection. Therefore, if you have already installed
the software, you do not need to reinstall it. If you want both a USB and a
Bluetooth
®
connection to the HP Photosmart, install the USB connection first. For
more information, see the Setup Guide. However, if you do not want a USB
connection, select Directly to the computer on the Connection Type screen.
Also, on the Connect Your Device Now screen, select the check box next to If
you are unable to connect your device now... at the bottom of the screen.
2. Attach an HP bt450 to the front USB port of the HP Photosmart.
3. If you are using an external Bluetooth
®
adapter for your computer, make sure your
computer is started and then attach the Bluetooth
®
adapter to a USB port on the
computer. If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed,
the Bluetooth
®
drivers are installed automatically. If you are prompted to select a
Bluetooth
®
profile, select HCRP.
If your computer has Bluetooth
®
built in, just make sure the computer is started.
