Set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated wireless (WLAN

802.11) network

The HP All-in-One uses an internal networking component that supports a wireless network.

For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the product and the other network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access point, this is called an infrastructure network.

2 HP Photosmart C4500 All-in-One series

The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network include:

• Advanced network security

• Enhanced reliability

• Network flexibility

• Better performance

• Shared Broadband Internet access

To set up the HP All-in-One on an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you need to do the following:

First, collect all of the required materials. “What you need for an integrated wireless

Next, install the software and connect the HP All-in-One to the wireless router.

See this section:

WLAN 802.11 network” on page 3

“Connect to an integrated wireless WLAN

802.11 network” on page 3

What you need for an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network

To connect the HP All-in-One to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you will need the following:

A wireless 802.11 network that includes a wireless router or access point.

❑

A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network

❑

interface card (NIC). The computer must be connected to the wireless network that you intend to install the HP All-in-One on. Broadband Internet access (recommended) such as cable or DSL.

❑

If you connect the HP All-in-One on a wireless network that has Internet access, HP recommends that you use a wireless router (access point or base station) that uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Network name (SSID).

❑

WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).

❑

A USB setup cable to connect temporarily for transferring wireless settings.

❑

Connect to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network

The HP Photosmart Software CD and included USB setup cable provide an easy way to connect the HP All-in-One to your wireless network.

English

CAUTION: To prevent other users from accessing your wireless network, HP

strongly recommends using a password or passphrase (WPA or WEP security) and a unique network name (SSID) for your wireless router. Your wireless router might have been shipped with a default network name, which is typically the manufacturer name. If you use the default network name, your network can be easily accessed by other users using the same default network name (SSID). It also means that the HP All-in-One might accidently connect to a different wireless network in your area which uses the same network name. If this happens you will not be able to access the HP All-in-One. For more information on how to change the network name, see the documentation that came with your wireless router.

Wireless ad hoc network setup

Use this section if you want to connect the HP All-in-One to a wireless-capable computer without using a wireless router or access point.

There are two methods you may use to connect the HP All-in-One to your computer using an ad hoc wireless network connection. Once connected, you can install the HP All-in-One software.

▲ Turn on the wireless radio for the HP All-in-One and the wireless radio on your

computer. On your computer, connect to the network name (SSID) hpsetup, which is the default ad hoc network created by the HP All-in-One.

▲ Use an ad hoc network profile on your computer to connect to the product. If your

computer is not currently configured with an ad hoc network profile, consult the Help file for your computer Operating System for the proper method to create an ad hoc profile on your computer. Once the ad hoc network profile has been created, insert the installation CD that came with the product and install the software. Connect to the ad hoc network profile you created on your computer.

NOTE: An ad hoc connection can be used if you do not have a wireless router or

access point but do have a wireless radio on your computer. However, an ad hoc connection may result in a lower level of network security and possibly reduced performance when compared to an infrastructure network connection using a wireless router or access point.

4 HP Photosmart C4500 All-in-One series

To set up the HP All-in-One on a wireless ad hoc network, you need to do the following:

See this section:

Configure your firewall to work with HP products

A personal firewall, which is security software running on your computer, can block network communication between your HP product and your computer.

If you are having problems such as:

• Printer not found when installing HP software

• Unable to print, print job stuck in queue or printer goes offline

• Scan communication errors or scanner busy messages

• Unable to see printer status on your computer

The firewall might be preventing your HP product from notifying computers on your network where it can be found. If the HP software cannot find the HP product during installation (and you know the HP product is on the network), or you have already successfully installed HP software and experience problems, try the following:

1. In the firewall configuration utility, look for an option to trust computers on the local

subnet (sometimes called the “scope” or “zone”). By trusting all computers on the local subnet, computers and devices in your home can communicate with each other while still being protected from the internet. This is the easiest approach to use.

2. If you do not have the option to trust computers on the local subnet, add incoming

UDP port 427 to your firewall's list of allowed ports.

NOTE: Not all firewalls require you to differentiate between incoming and

outgoing ports, but some do.

Another common problem is that HP software is not trusted by your firewall to access the network. This can happen if you answered "block" to any firewall dialog boxes that appeared when you installed the HP software.

If this occurs, check that the following programs are in your firewall's list of trusted applications; add any that are missing.

• hpqkygrp.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\digital imaging\bin

• hpqscnvw.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\digital imaging\bin

• hpqste08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\digital imaging\bin

• hpqtra08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\digital imaging\bin

• hpqthb08.exe, located in C:\program files\HP\digital imaging\bin

8 HP Photosmart C4500 All-in-One series

NOTE: Refer to your firewall documentation on how to configure the firewall port

settings and how to add HP files to the "trusted" list.

NOTE: Some firewalls continue to cause interference even after you disable them.

If you continue to have problems after configuring the firewall as described above, you might need to uninstall the firewall software in order to use the product over the network.

Advanced firewall information

The following ports are also used by your HP product and might need to be opened on your firewall configuration. Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the HP product.
