The HP All-in-One supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet network connections. For detailed instructions on connecting the HP All-in-One to an Ethernet (wired) network, see “Wired network setup” on page 19.

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.

NOTE: 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, HP All-in-One installation software 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: 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.

To install the Windows HP All-in-One software

1.Quit all applications running on your computer, including any virus detection software.

2.Insert the Windows CD that came with the HP All-in-One into the CD-ROM drive on your computer and follow the onscreen instructions.

4.On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network, and then click

Next.

The Searching screen appears as the Setup program searches for the HP All-in-One on the network.

5.On the Printer Found screen, verify that the printer description is correct.

If more than one printer is found on the network, the Printers Found screen appears. Select the HP All-in-One you want to connect.

General network settings

The following table describes the general network settings shown on the network configuration page.

Parameter		Description
Network Status		Status of the HP All-in-One:
		• Ready: The HP All-in-One is ready to receive or transmit data.
		• Offline: The HP All-in-One is not currently connected to the network.
Active connection		Network mode of the HP All-in-One:
type		• Wired: The HP All-in-One is connected by Ethernet cable to an IEEE
		802.3 network.
		• None: There is no network connection.
URL		The IP address of the Embedded Web Server.
		NOTE: You will need to know this URL when you try to access the
		Embedded Web Server.
Firmware		The internal networking component and device firmware revision code.
Revision
		NOTE: If you call HP support, depending on the problem, you might be
		asked to provide the firmware revision code.
Hostname		The TCP/IP name assigned by the installation software to the device. By
		default, this is the letters HP followed by the last 6 digits of the Media Access
		Control (MAC) address.
Admin Password		Status of the administrator's password for the Embedded Web Server:
		• Set: Password is specified. You must enter the password to make
		changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.
		• Not Set: No password is set. A password is not required for making
		changes to the Embedded Web Server parameters.
mDNS		Some local and ad hoc networks do not use central DNS servers. They use
		a DNS alternative called mDNS.
		With mDNS, your computer can find and use any HP All-in-One connected
		to your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-enabled
		device that appears on the network.

Wired (802.3) network settings

The following table describes the 802.3 wired network settings shown on the network configuration page.

Parameter	Description
Hardware	The Media Access Control (MAC) address that identifies the HP All-in-One.
Address (MAC)	This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking
	hardware for identification, including routers, switches, and other such
	devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address.

(continued)

Parameter		Description
		NOTE: Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require that you register the
		MAC address of the Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to
		your cable or DSL modem during installation.
IP Address		This address uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses are
		assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. You can also set up a static
		IP address, though this is not recommended.
		CAUTION: Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. An invalid
		IP address during installation will prevent your network components from
		seeing the HP All-in-One.
Subnet Mask		A subnet is an IP address assigned by the installation software to make an
		additional network available as part of a larger network. Subnets are specified
		by a subnet mask. This mask determines which of the HP All-in-One IP
		address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the device
		itself.
		NOTE: It is recommended that the HP All-in-One and the computers that
		use it all reside on the same subnet.
Default Gateway		A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A node
		in this instance can be a computer or some other device.
		NOTE: The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation
		software, unless you have already set a manual IP address.
Configuration		The protocol used to assign the IP address to the HP All-in-One:
Source		• AutoIP: The installation software automatically determines the
		configuration parameters.
		• DHCP: The configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host
		configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small networks,
		this could be a router.
		• Manual: The configuration parameters are set manually, such as a static
		IP address.
		• Not Specified: The mode used when the HP All-in-One is initializing.
DNS server		The IP address of the domain name service (DNS) for the network. When you
		use the web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it. For
		example, the URL http://www.hp.com contains the domain name hp.com. The
		DNS on the Internet translates the domain name into an IP address. Devices
		use the IP addresses to refer to one another.
		• IP Address: The IP address of the domain name server.
		• Not Specified: The IP address is not specified, or the device is initializing.
		NOTE: Check to see if a DNS IP address appears on the network
		configuration page. If no address is shown, obtain the DNS IP address from
		your Internet service provider (ISP).
Link		The speed at which data is transmitted over a network. Speeds include 10TX-
Configuration		Full, 10TX-Half, 100TX-Full, and 100TX-Half. When set to None, networking
		is disabled.
Total Packets		The number of packets transmitted by the HP All-in-One without error since
transmitted		it has been turned on. The counter clears after the HP All-in-One is turned
		off. When a message is transmitted over a packet-switching network, it is
