Microsoft Windows install Installation options The HP Color LaserJet 2700 printing-system software can be used with the HP Color LaserJet 2700 printer in the following configurations: ● Direct connection. Install the HP Color LaserJet 2700 printing-system software on a computer that is directly connected to the product through a USB port and running Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Share the HP Color LaserJet 2700 printer with other users on the network by using Microsoft Windows sharing. When using Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network, the operating system handles all of the networking issues.

To use a mix of operating systems, download and install an alternative print driver for the specific operating system. ● Network connection through onboard networking.
