The computer must be running Windows 98 SE or later to use a USB cable. For instructions about connecting the printer with a USB cable, see the setup poster that came with the printer.

For more detailed instructions on connecting the printer to a network, see the setup poster. 1. Unplug the USB connection from the back of the printer. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the back of the printer to an available Ethernet port on the router, switch, or access point. 3. Insert the printer software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard begins. 4. On the Connection Type screen, select Wired Network, and then click Next. 5. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the network installation. 6. When the installation is complete, open Printers and Faxes in Control Panel and delete the printers for the USB installation. 18 HP Deskjet 6940 series
