Connect to a network This section describes how to connect the HP All-in-One to a network and how to view and manage network settings. For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the HP All-in-One and the other network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access point, this is called an infrastructure network. If you connect the HP All-in-One directly to a wireless-capable computer, without using a wireless router or access point, this is known as an ad hoc network. You might only be able to connect to one wireless device at a time with an ad hoc connection. The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network include: • Advanced network security • Enhanced reliability • Network flexibility • Better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode If you want to: See this section: Connect to a wireless network with a wireless "Integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network router (infrastructure). setup" on page 17 Connect directly to a wireless-capable computer without a wireless router (ad-hoc).

Use printer sharing

If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All-

in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.

The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the

host

for the printer and

has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a

client

, has

access only to the print features. You must perform other functions, such as scanning

and copying, from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.

Connect to a network

This section describes how to connect the HP All-in-One to a network and how to view

and manage network settings.

For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use

a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the HP All-in-One and the other

network elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or

access point, this is called an

infrastructure

network.

If you connect the HP All-in-One directly to a wireless-capable computer, without using

a wireless router or access point, this is known as an

ad hoc

network. You might only be

able to connect to one wireless device at a time with an ad hoc connection.

The advantages of a wireless infrastructure network as compared to an ad hoc network

include:

•

Advanced network security

•

Enhanced reliability

•

Network flexibility

•

Better performance, especially with 802.11 g mode
