HP FESSIONAL P1100 manual Using Your Printer on a Network

1 Using Your Printer on a Network

To share your printer on a network, you must connect the printer to your network using one of the following methods. Before you set up your printer, check that your computer is fully set up, operational, and meets the minimum system requirements listed in “System Requirements” in your HP PhotoSmart P1100 Printer User’s Guide.

Your HP PhotoSmart P1100 printer can be shared over a network in three different ways:

•Locally Shared: Share your printer from a network-connected computer by enabling printer sharing on your computer and connecting your printer to the parallel port of the host computer. See “Locally Shared Printer Connection” on page 2 for details.

•Peer-to-Peer:Connect your printer to a network via the parallel port of an HP JetDirect External Print Server. See “Peer-to-Peer Connection” on page 8 and consult your print server documentation for help setting up the print server.
