							TIP:If you would like to install the PCL3 as well as the PostScript printer driver, click Custom
Install, select the printer from the list of detected printers and choose Custom Installation.
4.Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the printer.
The configuration program looks for printers connected to your network. When the search is
complete, a list of printers appears. Identify your printer by its IP address and select it from the list.
If your computer fails to find any printers on the network, the Printer Not Found window is displayed,
which helps you to try to find your printer. If you have a firewall in operation; you may have to disable it
temporarily in order to find the printer. You also have the options of searching for the printer by its URL,
IP address or MAC address.
NOTE:Although IPv6 is supported, automatic installation of the printer driver is not guaranteed to work
with it, so you may need to use the standard Windows Add Printer Wizard to install the driver.
Connect directly to a computer (Windows)
You can connect your printer directly to a computer without going through a network, by using the
printers built-in USB 2.0 socket.
TIP:A USB connection may be faster than a network connection, but the cable is limited in length and
it is more difficult to share the printer.
1.Do not connect the computer to the printer yet. You must first install the printer driver software
on the computer, as follows.
2.Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive. If the CD does not start automatically, run the
autorun.exe program in the root folder of the CD.
3.Click Custom Install. The PostScript printer driver and the HP Printer Utility will be installed.
4.You may see a message warning that the installer will have to communicate through the Windows
Firewall to search for printers on the network. As you intend to set up a USB connection, select
Continue installation without searching the network and click Next.
5.Follow the instructions on your screen to set up the printer. The following notes help you to
understand the screens and make appropriate choices.
●When asked how the printer is connected, select USB cable.
●If you would like to share the printer with other people connected to your network, press
the Printer Properties button in the Ready to Install window, set Printer Name to the name
under which the printer will be shared, then set Shared to Yes.
●When prompted to do so, connect your computer to the printer with a certified USB cable.
Ensure that the printer is turned on.
NOTE:You may complete the installation without connecting your printer if you prefer. To
do so, check the box marked I want to connect my printer after completing the setup
wizard.
NOTE:The use of non-certified USB cables can lead to connectivity problems. Only cables
certified by the USB Implementors Forum (
http://www.usb.org/) should be used with this
printer.

print preview facility, although the applications print preview will still be available. See

other computers on the same network.

2.Enable printer sharing by going to Sharing > Services > Printer Sharing.
3.Your printer now automatically appears in the list of shared printers displayed by any other
computer running Mac OS and connected to your local network.
Any other people wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own computers.
The PCL3 (raster) driver can drive a shared printer between different versions of Mac OS, but the
PostScript driver does not support printer sharing between Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X 10.5.
Anyone sharing your printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to receive information
from the printer—which affects printer alerts, printer status reports, paper management, printer
administration and troubleshooting.
You may find 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 to a network (Mac OS) on page 12.

							Turn the printer on and off
TIP:The printer can be left powered on without wasting energy. Leaving it on improves response time
and overall system reliability. When the printer has not been used for a certain period of time (the default
time is determined by Energy Star), it saves power by going into sleep mode. However, any interaction
with the printers front-panel display returns it to active mode, and it can resume printing immediately.
To change the sleep mode time, see 
Change the sleep mode setting on page 22.
NOTE:In sleep mode, the printer performs maintenance service to the printheads from time to time.
This avoids long preparation times after long idle periods. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to leave
the printer powered on or in sleep mode to avoid wasting ink and time.
The printer has three levels of power consumption.
●Plugged in: the power cord is plugged into the back of the printer
●Switched on: the switch at the back of the printer is in the on position
●Powered on: the Power key on the front panel shows a green light
If you wish to turn the printer on or off or reset the printer, the normal and recommended method is to
use the Power key on the front panel.
However, if you plan to store the printer indefinitely or the Power key does not seem to work, you are
recommended to power it off using the Power key, and then also switch off the power switch at the rear.
To turn it back on, use the power switch at the rear.
When the printer is powered back on, it takes about three minutes to initialize and check and prepare
the printheads. Preparing the printheads takes about one minute and 15 seconds. However, if the printer
has been off for six weeks or more, preparing the printheads could take up to 55 minutes.
Change the language of the front-panel display
There are two possible ways to change the language of the front-panel menus and messages.
●
If you can understand the current front-panel display language, select the Setup menu icon 
,
then Front panel options > Select language.
●If you cannot understand the current front-panel display language, start with the printer powered
off. At the front panel, press the OK key and hold it down. While holding the OK key down, press
ENWWTurn the printer on and off 19

							the Power key and hold it down. Continue to hold down both keys until the green light on the right
side of the front-panel display starts flashing, and then release both keys. You can expect a delay
of about one second. If the green light starts flashing without any delay, you may need to start
again.
Whichever method you used, the language selection menu should now appear on the front-panel
display. Highlight your preferred language with the Up and Down keys, then press the OK key.
When you have selected your preferred language, turn off the printer with the Power key and then turn
it on again. The front panel will appear in the selected language.
Access the HP Printer Utility
The HP Printer Utility enables you to manage your printer from a computer with a USB connection or
TCP/IP.
●Under Windows, start the the HP Printer Utility from your desktop shortcut or from Start > All
Programs > Hewlett-Packard > HP Printer Utility > HP Printer Utility. This launches the HP
Printer Utility showing the printers installed in the Printers and Faxes window.
●Under Mac OS, launch the HP Printer Utility from your dock shortcut or by selecting
STARTUP_DISK > Library > Printers > hp > Utilities > HP Printer Utility. This launches the HP
Printer Utility Printer Selector showing the printers installed in the Printer Setup Utility (Mac OS X
10.4) or Print & Fax (Mac OS X 10.5 or later).
Select your printer and click Select. This launches the HP Printer Utility.
If you have followed these instructions but failed to get through to the HP Printer Utility, see 
Cannot
access the HP Printer Utility on page 177.
Access the Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server enables you to manage your printer remotely using an ordinary Web
browser running on any computer.
NOTE:To use the Embedded Web Server, you must have a TCP/IP connection to your printer.
The following browsers are known to be compatible with the Embedded Web Server:
●Internet Explorer 6 or later for Windows
●Netscape Navigator 6.01 or later
●Mozilla 1.5 or later
●Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later
●Safari 2 or later for Mac OS
To access the Embedded Web Server on any computer, open your Web browser and give the address
of your printer. You can find out the address of your printer (starting with http:) from the front-panel
display, by looking at the status screen.
