DUsing Your HP DeskJet 895C Series Printer on a Network

Note: Networking is not available with the HP DeskJet 882C, 880C, 832C, 830C, 815C, 812C, or 810C Series printers.

About Sharing Your Printer on a Network

If you work in a networked environment, you can connect the HP DeskJet 895C Series printer to your network. The networked printer can be connected either to a personal computer (locally shared) or attached directly to the network via an HP JetDirect External Print Server (network-connect).

Locally Shared

In the locally shared configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel or USB port of a selected

computer (called the Òhost computerÓ) on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0 network printer connection.

The advantages of a locally shared printer are the relatively easy installation and the lower cost. The cost is lower in this configuration because you need not purchase an external print server.

The disadvantages of a locally shared printer involve performance, printer status information, and location. Depending on the network priority settings and the number of users on the network, the host computer may slow down while processing documents for printing. In addition, this can cause your document to be delayed while other userÕs documents are being printed. Additionally, only the user of the host computer can receive status and error messages from the printer. Locally shared printers must also be placed near the host computer, which may not be convenient for all users on the network. Finally, if the host computer is turned off, any document you may have sent to it for printing may be lost or not printed.
