Connecting to a network Your printer can be shared in a network environment by connecting it directly to a network via an optional HP Jetdirect external print server. This configuration provides better performance than printing through a computer, flexibility in preparing a location for the printer, and the ability to share the printer with both Windows and Mac OS users. For information about setting up HP Jetdirect external print servers, see your HP Jetdirect hardware and software installation guides. For information on purchasing HP Jetdirect external print servers, see "HP supplies and accessories". To install the printer driver on the PC or server (Windows) You must install the HP Jetdirect external print server first, then connect the printer to the network and install the printer software on the computer that will send print jobs directly to the network printer. 1 After setting up the HP Jetdirect external print server, start Windows and make sure no Windows applications are running. 2 Insert the Starter CD into your CD-ROM drive.
