Your computers must already be networked to use this procedure. HP does not provide support for networks. See your Windows Help system for assistance. HP OfficeJet does not support scanning over a network. The Jet Direct 170X Print Server may or may not provide network printing and limited scanning capabilities. For more information, see the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/all-in-one. Understanding Point-and-Print and Peer-to-Peer Networks For purposes of discussion in this guide, point-and-print network refers to an environment where two or more computers (Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0) equally share a single resource, such as the HP OfficeJet, and the server computer automatically downloads the required software to the client computer. If your network uses a Windows 95/98 computer as the server with Windows NT 4.0 clients, you must use a peer-to-peer network configuration instead. A peer-to-peer network is the same except that the software must be manually installed on each Windows NT 4.0 client. Local Area Network (LAN) Access Before you can set up printer sharing, a network must already exist. Minimum System Requirements Each computer must meet the minimum system requirements for connection to a LAN. A computer that meets these requirements is one that: x Contains a properly configured network card. x Is a client or server for Microsoft networks. x Has basic network services and protocols. x Has the proper network adapter. x Has LAN access.

Sharing HP OfficeJet
on a Network
4
This chapter explains how to set up the HP OfficeJet and your computers for
network printing using Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 or a combination of the two
on a point-and-print or peer-to-peer network.
NOTE
Your computers must already be networked to use this procedure. HP does not
provide support for networks. See your Windows Help system for assistance.
HP OfficeJet does not support scanning over a network. The Jet Direct 170X Print
Server may or may not provide network printing and limited scanning capabilities. For
more information, see the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/all-in-one.
Understanding Point-and-Print and Peer-to-Peer Networks
For purposes of discussion in this guide,
point-and-print
network
refers to an
environment where two or more computers (Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0)
equally share a single resource, such as the HP OfficeJet, and the server
computer automatically downloads the required software to the client
computer. If your network uses a Windows 95/98 computer as the server with
Windows NT 4.0 clients, you must use a
peer-to-peer
network configuration
instead. A
peer-to-peer network is the same except that the software must be
manually installed on each Windows NT 4.0 client.
Local Area Network (LAN) Access
Before you can set up printer sharing, a network must already exist.
Minimum System Requirements
Each computer must meet the minimum system requirements for connection
to a LAN. A computer that meets these requirements is one that:
Contains a properly configured network card.
Is a client or server for Microsoft networks.
Has basic network services and protocols.
Has the proper network adapter.
Has LAN access.
