Connect to additional computers on a network

You can share the HP All-in-One on a network so that more computers can use it. If the HP All-in-One is already connected to a computer on the network, you must install the HP All-in-One software on the network for each of the computers. During the installation, the software will discover the HP All-in-One on the network for each of the computers. 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.

NOTE: You can connect the HP All-in-One to either a wireless or wired network, but not both at the same time.
