Using Your Printer on a Network
The HP DeskJet 1120C printer can be shared in a network environment by connecting it directly to a network via an optional HP JetDirect external print server. You may also share your printer using Windows printer sharing methods. Refer to the topic "Use the printer on a network" on the "How Do I?" tab in the HP DeskJet 1120C Toolbox.
If you are using JetDirect EX Plus, it is recommended that you upgrade your firmware to E.05.13. Check the website: http://www.hp.com for upgrade information.
