Wireless ad hoc network setup
Use this section if you want to connect the HP Photosmart to a wireless-capable computer
without using a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: An ad hoc connection is available if you do not have a wireless router or
access point. However, it provides little flexibility, a low level of network security, and
slower network performance than with a wireless router or access point.
In order to connect the HP Photosmart to your computer (ad hoc), you need to create an
ad hoc network profile on your computer. This includes choosing a network name (SSID)
and WEP security (optional but recommended) for your ad hoc network.
