Wireless with a router (infrastructure network)
The HP Photosmart Software CD and included USB setup cable provide an easy way to
connect the HP Photosmart to your wireless network.
For optimal performance and security in your wireless network, HP recommends you use
a wireless router or access point (802.11) to connect the product and the other network
elements. When network elements are connected through a wireless router or access
point, this is called an infrastructure network.
To connect the HP Photosmart to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you will
need the following:
❑A wireless 802.11 network that includes a wireless router or access point.
❑A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network
interface card (NIC). The computer must be connected to the wireless network that
you intend to install the HP Photosmart on.
❑Broadband Internet access (recommended) such as cable or DSL.
If you connect the HP Photosmart on a wireless network that has Internet access, HP
recommends that you use a wireless router (access point or base station) that uses
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
❑Network name (SSID).
❑WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).

Wireless without a router (ad hoc connection)
Use this section if you want to connect the HP Photosmart to a wireless-capable computer
without using a wireless router or access point.
There are two methods you may use to connect the HP Photosmart to your computer
using an ad hoc wireless network connection. Once connected, you can install the
HP Photosmart software.
▲Turn on the wireless radio for the HP Photosmart and the wireless radio on your
computer. On your computer, connect to the network name (SSID) hpsetup, which
is the default ad hoc network created by the HP Photosmart.
OR
▲Use an ad hoc network profile on your computer to connect to the product. If your
computer is not currently configured with an ad hoc network profile, consult the Help
file for your computer Operating System for the proper method to create an ad hoc
profile on your computer. Once the ad hoc network profile has been created, insert
the installation CD that came with the product and install the software. Connect to the
ad hoc network profile you created on your computer.
NOTE:An ad hoc connection can be used if you do not have a wireless router or
access point but do have a wireless radio on your computer. However, an ad hoc
connection may result in a lower level of network security and possibly reduced
performance when compared to an infrastructure network connection using a wireless
router or access point.

							To connect the HP Photosmart to a Windows computer with an ad hoc connection, the
computer must have a wireless network adapter and an ad hoc profile. Create a network
profile for a Windows Vista or Windows XP computer using the directions below.
NOTE:If you have an operating system other than Windows Vista or Windows XP,
HP recommends that you use the configuration program that came with your wireless
LAN card. To find the configuration program for your wireless LAN card, access your
computers list of programs.
To create a network profile
NOTE:The product comes configured with a network profile with hpsetup as the
network name (SSID). However, for security and privacy HP recommends you create
a new network profile on your computer as described here.
1.In the Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
2.On the Network Connections window, right-click the Wireless Network
Connection. If you see Enable on the pop-up menu, select it. Otherwise, if you see
Disable on the menu, the wireless connection is already enabled.
3.Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, and then click Properties.
4.Click the Wireless Networks tab.
5.Select the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box.
6.Click Add, and then do the following:
a.In Network name (SSID) box, type in a unique network name of your choice.
NOTE:The network name is case sensitive, so it is important to remember
any uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters.
b. If there is a Network Authentication list, select Open. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
c.In the Data encryption list, select WEP.
d. Make sure that the check box is not selected next to The key is provided for me
automatically. If it is selected, click the check box to clear it.
e.In the Network key box, type a WEP key that has exactly 5 or exactly 13
alphanumeric (ASCII) characters. For example, if you enter 5 characters, you
might enter ABCDE or 12345. Or, if you enter 13 characters, you might enter
ABCDEF1234567. (12345 and ABCDE are examples only. Select a combination
of your choosing.)
Alternatively, you can use HEX (hexadecimal) characters for the WEP key. A HEX
WEP key must be 10 characters for 40 bit encryption, or 26 characters for 128 bit
encryption.
f.In the Confirm network key box, type the same WEP key you typed in the
previous step.
NOTE:You must remember the exact uppercase (capital) and lowercase
(small) letters. If you enter your WEP key incorrectly on the product, the
wireless connection will fail.
g. Write down the WEP key exactly as you typed it, including uppercase and
lowercase letters.
