Connect to additional computers on a network
You can connect the HP All-in-One to more than one computer on a small network of
computers. If the HP All-in-One is already connected to a computer on a network, for
each additional computer you must install the HP Photosmart Software. During
installation of a wireless connection, the software will discover the SSID (network name)
of the existing network. Once you have set up the HP All-in-One on the network you will
not need to configure it again when you add additional computers.
NOTE: You can connect the HP All-in-One to either a wireless or wired network, but
not both at the same time.
