NOTE: 1 If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the software. Otherwise, the HP Photosmart software installer might try to use one of the reserved drive letters and you will not be able to access that network drive on your computer.

NOTE: 2 Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your operating system, the amount of available space, and the processor speed of your computer.

Set up a Bluetooth connection

A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetooth-enabled computer without using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access many of the same printing features as with a USB connection. For example, you can check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your ink cartridges.

NOTE: The only software functionality available with a Bluetooth connection is printing. Scanning and software- based copying cannot be done over a Bluetooth connection.

You must have Windows Vista or Windows XP and either the Microsoft Bluetooth® Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect the HP Photosmart. It is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the product.

•Microsoft stack If you have Windows Vista or Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed on your computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth® Protocol Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth® adapter automatically. If your Bluetooth® adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not install automatically, then you do not have the Microsoft stack on your computer. Check the documentation that came with the Bluetooth® adapter to see if it supports the Microsoft stack.

•Widcomm stack: If you have an HP computer with Bluetooth® built in, or if you have installed an HP bt450, then your computer has the Widcomm stack. If you have an HP computer and plug in an HP bt450, it will install automatically using the Widcomm stack.

To connect the HP Photosmart with a Bluetooth connection, you will need the following:

❑A Bluetooth (compatible HCRP or SPP profile) capable device (such as a PDA, camera phone, or computer)

Some Bluetooth products exchange device addresses when they communicate with each other, so you might also need to find out the device address of the HP Photosmart in order to establish a connection.
