Printer software installation
The following instructions apply if you intend to print from software applications using a printer driver. See
Printing on page 38 for alternative ways of printing.
1. Make sure the printer is either turned o, or disconnected from the computer.
2. Install the product software from http://www.hp.com/go/T120-T520/drivers. Follow the software
installation instructions on your screen.
3. The printer software is installed, including the printer driver and the HP Utility.
4. Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the computer with a certied USB cable.
NOTE: The use of non-certied USB cables can lead to connectivity problems. Only cables certied by the
USB Implementor's Forum (http://www.usb.org/) should be used with this printer.
5. Shortly afterwards, a print queue is created automatically for your printer.
Sharing the printer
If your computer is connected to a network, you can make your directly connected printer available to other
computers on the same network.
1. Double-click the System Preferences icon on the Dock menu bar on your desktop.
2. To enable printer sharing, click Sharing, then Printer Sharing, and then check the printer(s) that you want to
share.
3. Your printer now automatically appears in the list of shared printers displayed by any other computer
running Mac OS X and connected to your local network.
Bear in mind the following considerations:
● Any other users wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own computers.
● Anyone sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to receive
information from the printer—which aects alerts, status reports, paper management, administration and
troubleshooting.
● You may nd that sharing your directly connected printer with other users will slow down your computer
unacceptably.
TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer, but to the
network. See Connect a computer to the printer by network (Mac OS X) on page 15.
