Sharing the printer on a locally shared network 
(Windows)
In a locally shared network, the printer is connected directly to the USB connector of a selected computer 
(known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients). Use this configuration only in small 
groups or when usage is low. The computer connected to the printer is slowed down when many users 
print to its shared printer. 
You can share the printer on a locally shared network when:
The computer connected to the printer is running Windows.
The printer will be shared with other Windows users. (You cannot share the printer with Mac OS 
users.)
Sharing a printer connected to your computer (the server)
1.From the Start menu, find the Printers folder. (The route is different for different Windows operating 
systems. It might be through Settings or Control Panel, or directly through Printers and Faxes.) 
2.In the Printers folder, right-click the printer and click Properties. 
3.On the Share tab, select the “share the printer” option, give the printer a Share Name.
4.Optional. If you are sharing the printer with users of other versions of Windows, you can click 
Additional Drivers to install their drivers as a convenience to them. This step requires you to have the 
Starter CD in your CD drive.
NOTE:When sharing a locally connected printer, use the newest operating system as the server. 
A Windows 98 server will not recognize a Windows 2000 client.
5.Click OK. 
Using a printer connected to another computer (clients)
Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways:
Install the printer software from the Starter CD. When prompted, select Connected via the network, 
and then select Client Setup for client-server printing. 
Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your Printers folder.
Add the printer and install the software from the INF file that has been saved to a location on your 
network. Ask the network administrator where the INF file is located.
On the Starter CD, the INF files are stored in folders using the following format: 
:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\\. 
For example, if your CD drive letter is D:, then D:\Setup\Drivers\PCL3\Win2k_XP\English would contain 
the English Windows 2000 PCL 3 INF file.

USB printer sharing over an Ethernet network (Mac OS)
Basic requirements for printer sharing in a Macintosh environment include the following:
The Macintosh computers must be communicating on the network using TCP/IP, and the Macintosh 
computers must have IP addresses. (AppleTalk is not supported.)
The printer being shared must be connected to a built-in USB port on the host Macintosh computer.
Both the host computer and the client computers that are using the shared printer must have printer 
sharing software installed and the printer driver or PPD for the printer that is installed. (You can run the 
Installer program to install the printer sharing software and associated Help files.)
The client computers should have the appropriate HP printer drivers installed.
The client computers must be PowerMac computers. 
To use a shared USB PostScript printer, the client computers must have a USB port.
For more information about USB printer sharing, see the support information available on the Apple 
website (http://www.apple.com
) or the Mac Help on the computer.
Sharing among Macintosh computers 
Enable printer sharing on the computer that is connected to the printer (the host).
1.Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Services.
2.Click the Printer Sharing check box.

Making copies of the software 
The Starter CD contains a utility that lets you copy the printer software on to disks, or to create custom 
installations, which is a task usually performed by system administrators. When you run the Installer, 
selectCustomization Utility to copy disks.
You can also use this utility to copy the printer software to your hard drive or to a network drive. After the 
files are copied to another location, you can install the printer software from that location.
Installing other software 
The following drivers and optional software are also available for installation on the printer.
HP Web Jetadmin. This is a Web browser-based network printer management tool. A link to the 
HP Web Jetadmin website is included on the Starter CD. See Using HP Web Jetadmin for more 
information about using this tool.
NOTE:HP Web Jetadmin is only available if the printer is connected to a network using an optional 
HP Jetdirect print server. For ordering information, see HP Jetdirect print servers.

Selecting print media 13
2 Using the printer
In this section you will learn how to use the printer driver to change printer settings and to perform basic 
printer tasks. You will also learn about the special media that you can use with the printer and how to print 
on that media.
Selecting print media
Before you use the printer, take some time to familiarize yourself with the various media you can use.
The printer is designed to work well with most types of office paper and with 25 percent cotton bond 
paper. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Find a media type that 
works well and is easy to purchase.
NOTE:Use HP media for optimum print quality. These print media types are specifically designed to 
work well with the printer. For ordering information and part numbers, see HP supplies and accessories.
Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines:
Always use paper that conforms to the printer specifications. For a list of supported media, see 
Understanding supported sizes and Understanding supported media types and weights.
Load only one paper type at a time into a tray.
In Tray 1, load media print-side down with the right edge of the media aligned against the right edge 
and front guide of the tray. See Loading media.
Load no more than 150 sheets of media into Tray 1.
Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations 
or paper that is heavily textured or embossed. These types of media can cause jams and other 
problems.
Do not use paper that is too lightweight or stretches easily. These types of paper can feed improperly 
or jam. See Understanding specifications for supported media.
Do not use multipart forms.
Paper that is heavily textured or does not accept ink well can cause poorly filled graphics or text.
