Connect directly to a computer (Windows)
You can connect your printer directly to a computer without going through a network, by using the
printer's built-in FireWire (IEEE 1394) socket or the optional USB 2.0 socket.
1. Do not connect the computer to the printer yet. You must first install the printer driver software
on the computer, as follows.
2. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not autorun, run the
AUTORUN.EXE program in the root folder of the CD.
3. Click the Custom Install button.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the printer. The following notes will help you to
understand the screens and make appropriate choices.
● When asked how the printer is connected, choose Connected directly to this computer.
Then select a FireWire (IEEE 1394) or USB connection.
● When prompted to do so, connect your computer to the printer, using a FireWire or USB cable.
Ensure that the printer is switched on.
● You may see a message warning that the installer will have to communicate through the
Windows Firewall to search for printers on the network. As you intend to set up a direct
connection, select Continue installation without searching the network and click Next.
Uninstall the printer driver (Windows)
1. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not autorun, run the
AUTORUN.EXE program in the root folder of the CD.
2. Choose Modify Installation, and follow the instructions on your screen to uninstall the printer
driver.
