HP all-in-one Network Guide 1

Get started

This guide complements the information in the printed Setup Guide and the User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one. It describes how to set up your HP all-in-one in a network, which includes configuring and connecting the device, and installing the software. This guide also provides examples of recommended networks, network management information, and troubleshooting tips.

Connecting your HP all-in-one to a network enables you to share your HP all-in-one and all of its capabilities with every computer on the network. However, if you do not intend to connect to a network and want a direct USB connection instead, please see the Setup Guide for information.

Use this chapter to help you find information on the following topics:

● Choose a network type

● Use the network management tools

● Switch from a USB connection to a network connection

● Connect additional computers

● Get HP support

Note For definitions of terms used in this guide, see the Glossary.

Choose a network type

There a number of different ways to set up an Ethernet network environment for your HP all-in-one. For ideas, please see Choose a recommended Ethernet network.

Use the network management tools

For information on using the HP all-in-one management tools, see Manage your

network.

Switch from a USB connection to a network connection

If you first install your HP all-in-one with a USB connection, you can later switch to a network connection.

To switch a USB connection to a network connection

1 Unplug the USB connection from the back of your HP all-in-one. 2 Connect your HP all-in-one, as described in Connect with an Ethernet cable. 3 Install the software, as described in Install the software. 4 When the installation is complete, access the printer icons on your computer as

follows:

– For Windows XP: Open the Printers and Faxes folder. – For Windows 9.x or Windows 2000: Open the Printers folder.

– For Macintosh OS X: Open the Printer Setup Utility in the Utilities list.

5 Check to see if the USB printer icon for your HP all-in-one is there. If it is, delete it.

HP all-in-one Network Guide 3

Chapter 1

Connect additional computers

If your HP all-in-one is connected to one of the recommended networks you can share your HP All-in-One with additional computers on the network. For each additional computer, you must install the HP all-in-one software, as described in Install the

software. During installation, the software will discover the SSID (network name) of the

existing network. Once you have set up your HP all-in-one on the network you will not need to configure it again when you add additional computers.

Get HP support

For information on how to get HP customer support, please see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.

Choose a recommended Ethernet network

Use this chapter to help you identify what kind of Ethernet network you already have in place or want to set up. Each network shown here uses a device, such as an Ethernet router, to connect the network elements. A network connected in this manner is called an infrastructure network. An Ethernet network provides superior performance, reliability, and network security.

Ethernet networks might or might not be connected to the Internet. If you place your HP all-in-one on an Ethernet network connected to the Internet, it is recommended that you use a gateway so that the HP all-in-one’s IP address is assigned dynamically through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). A gateway can either be a router or a Windows computer running Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Note For definitions of terms not defined here, see the Glossary.

We recommend the wired LAN (local area network) configurations below to support your HP all-in-one.

Ethernet connection to a wired network with DSL or cable Internet access

If your network has DSL or cable Internet access, you can use either a router or a computer as the Internet gateway. With either DSL or cable, you are able to access the full functionality of your HP all-in-one, including sharing pictures over the Internet with HP Instant Share.

Router gateway

In this example, a router manages the network connections, and a DSL or cable modem provides Internet access. If you use this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the router with an Ethernet cable.

With this configuration, you are able to access the full functionality of the HP all-in-one, including sharing pictures over the Internet . For connection instructions, see Connect

with an Ethernet cable.

Computer gateway

HP all-in-one Network Guide 5

Chapter 2

In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router. A computer on the network acts as the gateway between the network and the Internet. The gateway computer uses Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or similar software to manage the network connections and provide Internet access to the other devices.

Note If the computer acting as a gateway is turned off, the other computers on the

network will lose their Internet connection. The HP all-in-one will not support Internet-related functions.

If you use this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the switch or router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see Connect with an Ethernet cable.

Ethernet connection to a wired network with modem Internet access

In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router, and a modem (shown here connected to the computer on the left) provides Internet access. The modem is connected to the computer using a phone cord and jack. Only one computer has Internet access. Neither the HP all-in-one nor any of the other computers on the network have access to the Internet. If you use this configuration, connect your HP allin-one to the switch or router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see

Connect with an Ethernet cable.

Note In order to use the HP Instant Share features on your HP all-in-one, you will need

broadband Internet access, such as cable or DSL. For more information about HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.

Ethernet connection to a wired network without Internet

In this example, the network devices are connected to a switch or router, and there is no Internet connection. Devices use AutoIP, which means IP addresses are configured automatically. If you have this configuration, connect your HP all-in-one to the switch or router with an Ethernet cable. For connection instructions, see Connect with an

Ethernet cable.

Note In order to use the HP Instant Share features on your HP all-in-one, you will need

broadband Internet access, such as cable or DSL. For more information about HP Instant Share, see the printed User Guide that came with your HP all-in-one.

Ethernet connection to a wireless network

Your access point connects a wired device to a wireless network. In this model, your computer is configured for wireless networking using a wireless network adapter, and transfers and receives data through the access point. Your HP all-in-one is configured for wired networking and is connected with an Ethernet cable to the access point. A DSL or cable modem can provide Internet access. For connection instructions, see
