2 Network setup
This section describes how to connect the HP Photosmart to a router, switch, or hub using
an Ethernet cable and how to install the HP Photosmart software for a network
connection. This is known as a wired or Ethernet network.
To set up the HP Photosmart on a wired
network, you need to do the following:See this section:
First, collect all of the required materials.“What you need for a wired network”
on page 5
Next, connect to a wired network.“Connect the HP Photosmart to the network”
on page 6
Finally, install the software.“Install the software for a network connection”
on page 7
What you need for a wired network
Before you connect the HP Photosmart to a network, make sure you have all of the
required materials.
❑ A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet
port.
❑ CAT-5 Ethernet cable.
Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they
are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each

has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45
connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone
connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

NOTE:
The HP Photosmart supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet
networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card
(NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.

network. Before you install the software, make sure you have connected the
HP Photosmart to a network.
NOTE:If your computer is configured to connect to a series of network drives, make
sure that your computer is currently connected to these drives before installing the
software. Otherwise, HP Photosmart installation software might try to use one of the
reserved drive letters, and you will not be able to access that network drive on your
computer.
NOTE: Installation time can range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your
operating system,  the amount of available space,  and the processor speed of your
computer.

HP Photosmart is already connected to a comp uter on the network, you must install the
HP Photosmart software for each additional computer. During the installation, the
software will discover the HP Photosmart on the network for each of the computers. Once
you have set up the HP Photosmart on the network you will not need to configure it again
when you add additional computers.
