HP PhotoSmart P1100 Color InkJet Printer Network PDF Guide for Windows

Using Your Printer on a Network
To share your printer on a network, you must connect the printer to your network using one of the following methods. Before you set up your printer, check that your computer is fully set up, operational, and meets the minimum system requirements listed in “System Requirements” in your HP PhotoSmart P1100 Printer User’s Guide. Your HP PhotoSmart P1100 printer can be shared over a network in three different ways:
• Locally Shared: Share your printer from a network-connected computer by enabling printer sharing on your computer and connecting your printer to the parallel port of the host computer. See “Locally Shared Printer Connection” on page 2 for details.
• Peer-to-Peer: Connect your printer to a network via the parallel port of an HP JetDirect External Print Server. See “Peer-to-Peer Connection” on page 8 and consult your print server documentation for help setting up the print server.

• Client Server Network Connection: Connect your printer to a network via the parallel port of an HP JetDirect External Print Server and share the printer from a Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 3.12, 4.11, or 5.0 server on your network. Clients print through a Windows NT or NetWare server. See “Client Server Network Connection” on page 10 for details. Note: Clients on a network do not have access to the CompactFlash or SmartMedia card slots. Clients only have the capability to print. Host PCs in a locally shared configuration will have access to the card slots, only if software is loaded from setup.exe.
2 Locally Shared Printer Connection
In the locally shared configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port of a selected computer that functions as a host to other computers on the network. To locally share your printer, the printer software must be installed on the host computer and on each client computer.

Setting Up a Locally Shared Printer
1 Set up the printer. Follow the instructions on the installation poster (included in the box). Note: Make sure you do not have any peripheral devices, such as scanners, switch boxes, backup units, etc. installed between the printer and the computer.
2 Install the printer software on the host computer, and share your printer on the network. See the table below to find instructions for your operating system.
3 Install the printer software on each of the client computers. See the table below to find instructions for your operating system. Operating Systems for the Locally Shared Connection Installation instructions for the supported operating systems can be found on page: Supported
