Printer sharing considerations
●
The HP Utility must be installed on a computer before it can be used from that computer.
●
Any other people sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will
not be able to receive information from the printer—which affects printer alerts, printer status
reports, paper management, printer administration and troubleshooting.
●
Any other people sharing your directly connected printer will be unable to use the printer's own
print preview facility, although the application's print preview will still be available. See
Preview a
print on page 50.
TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer,
but to the network. See
Connect to a network (Windows) on page 10.
Uninstall the printer software (Windows)
1. Insert the HP Start-up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not start automatically, run the
autorun.exe program in the root folder of the CD.
2. Click Software Installation.
3. Select Modify Installation, and follow the instructions on your screen to uninstall the printer
software.
Connect to a network (Mac OS)
You can connect your printer to a network under Mac OS by using the following methods:
●
Bonjour/Rendezvous
●
TCP/IP
NOTE: The printer does not support AppleTalk.
Before you begin, check your equipment:
●
The printer should be set up and on.
●
The Ethernet hub or router should be on and functioning correctly.
● All computers on the network should be on and connected to the network.
●
The printer should be connected to the network.
Now you can proceed to install the printer software and connect your printer.
