Getting started Connecting the printer Your printer supports local printing using a USB cable. (USB cables are sold separately. To order, see HP supplies and accessories.) You can share the printer in these ways: • You can use a simple form of networking, known as locally shared networking, if you connect the printer to a computer running Windows. Using this method, you can share the printer with other Windows users. See Connecting directly using a USB cable (Windows) and Sharing the printer on a locally shared network (Windows). • You can also use locally shared networking if you connect the printer to a computer running a Mac OS. Using this method, you can share the printer with other Mac OS users. See Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS). Connecting directly using a USB cable (Windows) In the Windows environment, you can connect directly using a USB cable. NOTE: To use a USB cable to connect the printer to a computer running the Mac OS, see Connecting directly using a USB cable (Mac OS). For Windows, you can use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the computer has a USB port and is running Microsoft Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.
