Use printer sharing

If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All- in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.

The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions, such as scanning and copying, from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.

To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer

Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen Help.
