There are two methods you can use to connect the HP Photosmart to your computer using an ad hoc wireless network connection. Once connected, you can install the HP Photosmart software.

Turn on the wireless radio for the HP Photosmart and the wireless radio on your computer. On your computer, connect to the network name (SSID) hp (product model).(6-digit unique identifier), which is the default ad hoc network created by the HP Photosmart. The 6-digit identifier is unique to each printer.

OR

Use an ad hoc network profile on your computer to connect to the product. If your computer is not currently configured with an ad hoc network profile, consult the Help file for your computer Operating System for the proper method to create an ad hoc profile on your computer. Once the ad hoc network profile has been created, insert the installation CD that came with the product and install the software. Connect to the ad hoc network profile you created on your computer.

NOTE: An ad hoc connection can be used if you do not have a wireless router or access point but do have a wireless radio on your computer. However, an ad hoc connection may result in a lower level of network security and possibly reduced performance when compared to an infrastructure network connection using a wireless router or access point.

To connect the HP Photosmart to a Windows computer with an ad hoc connection, the computer must have a wireless network adapter and an ad hoc profile. Create a network profile for a Windows Vista or Windows XP computer using the directions below.

NOTE: The product comes configured with a network profile with hp (product model).(6-digit unique identifier) as the network name (SSID). However, for security and privacy HP recommends you create a new network profile on your computer as described here.
