Use printer sharing

If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All- in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.

The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.

To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer

▲Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen Help.

•HP Printing Paper is a high-quality multifunction paper. It produces documents that look and feel more substantial than documents printed on standard multipurpose or copy paper.

To order HP papers and other supplies, go to www.hp.com/buy/supplies. If prompted, choose your country/region, follow the prompts to select your product, and then click one of the shopping links on the page.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.

Recommended papers for printing only

Certain papers are supported only when you start the print job from your computer. The following list provides information about these papers.

If you want the best print quality, HP recommends using HP papers. Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Depending on your country/region, some of these papers might not be available.

HP Iron-On Transfers

HP Iron-On Transfers (for color fabrics or for light or white fabrics) are the ideal solution for creating custom T-shirts from your digital photos.

HP Brochure & Flyer Paper

HP Brochure & Flyer Paper (Gloss or Matte) is glossy-coated or matte-coated on both sides for two-sided use. They are the perfect choice for near-photographic reproductions and business graphics for report covers, special presentations, brochures, mailers, and calendars.

HP Premium Presentation Paper

HP Premium Presentation Paper gives your presentation a quality look and feel.

NOTE: At this time, some portions of the HP Web site are available in English only.

Papers to avoid

Using paper that is too thin or too thick, paper that has a slick texture, or paper that stretches easily can cause paper jams. Using paper that has a heavy texture or does not accept ink can cause printed images to smear, bleed, or not fill in completely.

Choose papers for printing and copying

Chapter 6

NOTE: For a complete list of supported media sizes, see the printer software.

Papers to avoid for all print and copy jobs

•Any size paper other than those listed in the printer software.

•Paper with cutouts or perforations (unless specifically designed for use with HP inkjet devices).

•Highly textured stock, such as linen. It might not print evenly, and the ink can bleed into these papers.

•Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for the HP All- in-One. They can jam the HP All-in-One or repel the ink.

•Multi-part forms, such as duplicate and triplicate forms. They can wrinkle or get stuck, and the ink is more likely to smear.

•Envelopes with clasps or windows. They can get stuck in the rollers and cause paper jams.

•Banner paper.
