Install the software for a network connection

Use this section to install the HP All-in-One software on a computer connected to a network. Before you install the software, make sure you have connected the HP All-in- One to a network.

NOTE: If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the software. Otherwise, HP All-in-One installation software might try to use one of the reserved drive letters, and you will not be able to access that network drive on your computer.

NOTE: Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your operating system, the amount of available space, and the processor speed of your computer.

To install the Windows HP All-in-One software

1.Quit all applications running on your computer, including any virus detection software.

2.Insert the Windows CD that came with the HP All-in-One into the CD-ROM drive on your computer and follow the onscreen instructions.

3.If a dialog box about firewalls appears, follow the instructions. If you see firewall pop- up messages, you must always accept or allow the pop-up messages.

4.On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network, and then click Next.

The Searching screen appears as the Setup program searches for the HP All-in-One on the network.

5.On the Printer Found screen, verify that the printer description is correct.

If more than one printer is found on the network, the Printers Found screen appears. Select the HP All-in-One you want to connect.

6.Follow the prompts to install the software.

When you have finished installing the software, the HP All-in-One is ready for use.

7.If you disabled any virus detection software on your computer, make sure to enable it again.

8.To test your network connection, go to your computer and print a self-test report to the HP All-in-One.

Connect to additional computers on a network

You can share the HP All-in-One on a network so that more computers can use it. If the HP All-in-One is already connected to a computer on the network, you must install the HP All-in-One software for each additional computer. During the installation, the software will discover the HP All-in-One on the network for each of the computers. Once you have set up the HP All-in-One on the network you will not need to configure it again when you add additional computers.

NOTE: You can connect the HP All-in-One to either a wireless or wired network, but not both at the same time.
