Connect to additional computers on a network

More than one computer on a network can share the HP All-in-One. If the HP All-in-One is already connected to a computer on a network, for each additional computer you must install the HP All-in-One software. During installation of a wireless connection, the software will discover the network name (SSID) of the existing network. Once you have set up the HP All-in-One on the network you will not need to configure it again when you add additional computers.
