Users of the shared computers can only print from their computers to the product. Supported configurations This section includes information about the following topics: ■ Direct connection ■ Network connections Direct connection In the direct (or local) configuration, the HP LaserJet all-in-one product is connected directly to the host computer with a USB cable. In this configuration, the product is not shared. A single user has complete physical control over the product. Most users are familiar with using peripherals that are directly connected to their computers. In this configuration, you have access to all of the product features. Network connection options The following networking options are available for the HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one products: ● Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only) ● Networking requirements Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only) Use Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network. The operating system handles all of the networking issues. The product prints in this configuration, but only the local computer can use the faxing and scanning functionality; network faxing and scanning are not supported in this configuration. Also, because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is unidirectional, network users do not receive printerstatus messages when they print to the product. NOTE HP does not support vending drivers across operating systems that have different printdriver architectures, such as HP Traditional drivers and HP Unidrivers. To use a mix of operating systems, you must install an alternate print driver and download the driver for the specific operating system. 50 Chapter 2 Software overview for Windows ENWW
