Connect to additional computers on a network

You can connect the HP Photosmart to more than one computer on a small network of computers. If the HP Photosmart is already connected to a computer on a network, for each additional computer you must install the HP Photosmart software. Once you have set up the HP Photosmart on the network you will not need to configure it again when you add additional computers.
