Connect using a USB cable
Refer to the Setup Poster that came with the HP All-in-One for detailed instructions on

Use printer sharing
If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All-
in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.
The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and
has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has
access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host
computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.
