Computer connection information
The HP Photosmart comes equipped with a rear USB 2.0 High Speed port for connection
to a computer.
If you use a USB cable to connect the HP Photosmart to a computer on a network, you
can set up printer sharing on your computer. This enables other computers on the network
to print to the HP Photosmart, using your computer as the host.
The host computer (your computer, connected directly to the HP Photosmart by a USB
cable) has full software functionality. Other computers, which are referred to as the
clients, have access only to the print features. HP recommends up to 5 computers for
the best performance. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from
the control panel on the HP Photosmart.
To connect the product with the USB cable
▲ Refer to the Start Here guide that came with your product for information on
connecting to a computer with a USB cable.
Finish setup
NOTE: Do not connect the USB cable to the product until you are prompted to
do so.
To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer
▲ Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen
Help.

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.
