connect your hp officejet to more than one computer

If your PC is on a network, and another PC on the network has an HP OfficeJet

connected to it, you can use that unit as your printer. You can only access print

features in this configuration. Only the PC directly connected to the HP OfficeJet

will have full functionality.

See the HP website for more information on network printing.

You can also connect your HP OfficeJet to an HP JetDirect 175X Print Server that

is connected directly to a network, but only print functionality will be available

for all PCs. Copying and faxing from the front panel are still available, but all

scanning functionality is disabled.

To use your HP OfficeJet in this configuration, you must install the software that

comes with the HP JetDirect 175x.

Note: If you have already installed the HP OfficeJet software, uninstall that

software, then install the HP JetDirect 175x software.

install printer driver

You will be prompted to install a printer driver during the installation.

• Insert the HP OfficeJet CD when instructed, and locate the correct printer

driver file.

For Windows 2000 and XP the printer driver file, located in the root

directory, is hpoprn08.inf.

For Windows 98, SE, and ME the printer driver file is hpoupdrx.inf. You

will need to navigate to the \enu\drivers\win9x_me directory, where enu

is the English language directory and win9x_me is for Windows ME.

If you have Internet access, you can get more information on using an

HP JetDirect 175x from the HP website at:

Note: You can have up to 5 client computers on the network portion of the

175x and USB combination.
