NOTE: The speed of any network connection depends on all components used in the network, which
can include network interface cards, hubs, routers, switches and cables. If any one of these components
cannot operate at high speed, you will have a low-speed connection. The speed of your network
connection can also be affected by the total amount of traffic from other devices on the network.
Connect to a network (Windows)
Before you begin, check your equipment:
●
The printer should be set up and on.
●
The Ethernet hub or router should be on and functioning correctly.
●
All computers on the network should be on and connected to the network.
●
The printer should be connected to the network.
Now you can proceed to install the printer software and connect your printer:
1. Make a note of the IP address from the status screen on the printer's front panel (192.168.1.1 in
this example):
2. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your computer. If the CD does not start automatically, run the
autorun.exe program in the root folder of the CD.
3. Click Express Network Install. The PostScript printer driver and the HP Printer Utility will be
installed.
