What you need for a wired network

Before you connect the HP Photosmart to a network, make sure you have all of the
required materials.
❑ A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet

port.

❑ CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they
are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each
has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45
connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone
connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

❑ A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection.

NOTE:

The HP Photosmart supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet

networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card
(NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.
