Use Windows 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 means of a USB cable, you can use that device as your
printer using Windows printer sharing. The computer directly connected to the HP all-
in-one acts as the host for the printer and has full feature functionality. Your computer,
which is referred to as a client, has access only to the print features. All other
functions must be performed on the host computer.
