Use HP Instant Share (networked)

Chapter 13

Remote print documents

The HP remote printer driver lets you send print jobs from Windows applications to remote, network-connected printing devices. For example, you can remote print from your laptop (or other PC) to your HP all-in-one, access your computer at work through a VPN and print to your device, or send a print job from any other remote network- connected device to your HP All-in-One. Each unit sending a print job must have the HP remote printer driver installed on it.

The HP remote printer driver is installed on the computer (or laptop) on which you installed the software for your device. If you want to install the HP remote printer driver on another laptop, install the device software or download the driver from the HP website.

Note To download the HP remote printer driver from the HP website, make sure you use a broadband connection. Do not use a dial-up connection. It will take approximately 3 to 5 minutes to download the driver using a broadband connection.
