Connect to additional computers on a network

You can share the HP Deskjet with other computers which are also connected to your home network. If the HP Deskjet is already connected to your home network and installed on a network computer, for each additional computer you only need to install the HP Deskjet software. During the software installation, the software will automatically discover the HP Deskjet over the network. Since the HP Deskjet is already connected to your network, you do not need to configure it again when installing the HP Deskjet software on additional computers.

Wireless setup tips

•• If you have a wireless router with a WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) button, press the button during initial setup to connect wirelessly to your printer. See the router documentation to determine if your router has a WPS button.

•• When a wireless connection between the HP Deskjet and the wireless router is successful, the blue wireless light on the printer will turn on and stay on. If your router does not support WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) or WPS does not successfully connect, the software installation will guide you through getting a wireless connection for the HP Deskjet.
