4 | print from the direct-printing port |
For quick and easy printing, your printer allows you to connect a notebook computer or an HP direct-printing digital camera to the direct-printing port located on the front of the printer.
To print using the direct-printing port, you must first install the HP Photosmart printer software on your notebook computer using the USB port located in the back of your printer. The first time you connect your notebook computer to the direct-printing port, your operating system will automatically reconfigure the software so you can print using that port. For information about installing the software on your notebook computer, see the HP Photosmart Setup Guide that came with your printer.
Note: If your direct-printing digital camera has a docking station, you can connect the docking station to the printer’s USB port. For more information, see the documentation that came with the docking station.
