Establishing a network connection

Your printer can be shared in a network environment by using an LIO module. The LIO module can be used in a peer-to-peer or client-server network.

The LIO module is an optional accessory you can purchase. For information about ordering this part, see “HP Supplies and Accessories.”

For information about installation and setup of LIO modules, refer to the documentation that came with it.

Installing the network printer on client computers

Once you have installed the LIO module and set up your network connection, you need to install the printer software on your client computers.

You can install the software from the starter CD or by adding a printer to the computer and browsing for the .inf file.
