If your PC is on a network, and another PC on the network has an HP OfficeJet connected to it, you can use that unit as your printer. You can only access print features in this configuration. Only the PC directly connected to the HP OfficeJet will have full functionality.

See the HP website for more information on network printing.

You can also connect your HP OfficeJet to an HP JetDirect 175X Print Server that is connected directly to a network, but only print functionality will be available for all PCs. Copying and faxing from the front panel are still available, but all scanning functionality is disabled.

To use your HP OfficeJet in this configuration, you must install the software that comes with the HP JetDirect 175x.

Note: If you have already installed the HP OfficeJet software, uninstall that software, then install the HP JetDirect 175x software.
