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 All-in-One software. 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.
