Printer sharing considerations
●
Any other users sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to
receive information from the printer—which aects alerts, status reports, paper management,
administration and troubleshooting.
●
Any other users sharing your directly connected printer will be unable to use the printer's own print preview
facility, although the application's print preview will still be available. See Preview a print on page 54.
TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer, but to the
network. See Connect a computer to the printer by network (Windows) on page 14.
Uninstall the printer software (Windows)
1. Insert the HP Start-up Kit DVD into your DVD drive. If the DVD does not start automatically, run the
setup.exe program in the root folder of the DVD.
2. Press the Software Installation button.
3. Press the Modify Installation button, and follow the instructions on your screen to uninstall the printer
software.
Connect a computer to the printer by network (Mac OS)
You can connect your printer to a network under Mac OS X by using the following methods:
●
Bonjour
●
TCP/IP
NOTE: The printer does not support AppleTalk.
The following instructions apply if you intend to print from software applications using a printer driver. See
Printing on page 46 for alternative ways of printing.
Before you begin, check your equipment:
●
The printer should be set up and on.
●
The Ethernet switch or router should be on and functioning correctly.
●
The printer and the computer should be connected to the network (see Connect the printer to your network
on page 13).
Now you can proceed to install the printer software and connect to your printer.
