To set up a network port-connected configuration (direct mode or peer-to-peer printing)


In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the network, and all computers on the network print directly to the printer.

1. Connect the printer directly to the network by inserting a network cable into the printer network port.
2. At the printer, use the control panel to print a Configuration page. See Reports menu.
3. Insert the printer CD-ROM into your computer. If the software installer does not start, navigate to the HPSETUP.EXE file on the CD-ROM and double-click the file.
4. Click Install.
5. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
6. On the Installer updates screen, click Yes to search for installer updates on the Web.
7. For Windows 2000/XP, on the Installation Options screen, choose the installation option. Hewlett-Packard recommends a typical installation, if your system supports it.
8. On the License Agreement screen, read the license agreement, indicate that you accept the terms, and then click Next.
9. For Windows 2000/XP, on the HP Extended Capabilities screen, choose whether you want extended capabilities, and then click Next.
10. On the Destination Folder screen, choose the destination folder, and then click Next.
11. On the Ready to Install screen, click Next to begin installation.

In most cases an IP address is assigned, but you can change it by clicking Specify the printer by Address on the Identify Printer screen. Click Next.
14. Allow the installation process to complete.
