If your PC is on a network, and another PC on the network has an HP OfficeJet
connected to it, you can use that unit as your printer. You can only access print
features in this configuration. Only the PC directly connected to the HP OfficeJet
will have full functionality.

You can also connect your HP OfficeJet to an HP JetDirect 175X Print Server that
is connected directly to a network, but only print functionality will be available
for all PCs. Copying and faxing from the front panel are still available, but all
scanning functionality is disabled.
To use your HP OfficeJet in this configuration, you must install the software that
comes with the HP JetDirect 175x.
Note: If you have already installed the HP OfficeJet software, uninstall that
software, then install the HP JetDirect 175x software.

will need to navigate to the \enu\drivers\win9x_me directory, where enu
