Software features by connection type
The HP LaserJet 1022 printing-system software can be used with the product in one of the following
configurations:
■ Directly connected to a computer. If the product is connected to a computer running Windows 98
SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you can share the product with other network
users through Windows sharing.
■ Connected to a network through the HP network card.
Direct connection
In the direct (or local) configuration, the product is connected directly to the host computer with a
universal serial bus (USB) cable. In this configuration, the product is not shared. A single user has
complete control of the product. You can gain access to all of the capabilities of the product in this
configuration.
Network connection options (HP LaserJet 1022n and HP LaserJet 1022nw
printers only)
The following networking options are available for the product:
■ Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only)
■ Networked by using the internal HP network port (HP LaserJet 1022n and HP LaserJet 1022nw
printers only)
■ External Jetdirect network port
Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only)
You can use Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network. The operating system
handles all of the networking issues. Because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is unidirectional,
network users do not receive product-status messages when they print.
NOTE HP does not support vending drivers across operating systems that have different
printer-driver architectures, such as HP Traditional drivers and HP Unidrivers. To use mixed
operating systems, you must install an alternate print driver and download the driver for the
specific operating system as described in the HP customer support document HP Color
LaserJet and LaserJet Printers - MS Windows NT 4.0 through MS Windows 2000 and beyond,
Print Driver Issues for Operating in a Mixed Operating System Environment.
