Use a Bluetooth
® connection to prin t from your computer
A Bluetooth connection provides a quick and easy way to print images from a Bluetooth-
enabled computer without using a cable. With a Bluetooth connection you can access
many of the same printing features as with a USB connection. For example, you can
check the printer status, as well as the estimated amount of ink remaining in your ink
cartridges.

Before you print, you must connect an HP bt450, Printer and PC Adapter with
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to the HP Photosmart.
You must have Windows XP or Windows Vista and either the Microsoft Bluetooth
®
Protocol Stack or the Widcomm Bluetooth® Protocol Stack installed in order to connect
the HP Photosmart. It is possible to hav e both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm
Stack on your computer, but you use only one of them to connect the HP Photosmart.
• Microsoft stack  If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista
installed on your computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth
® Protocol
Stack. The Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth® adapter
automatically. If your Bluetooth® adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not
install automatically, then you do not hav e the Microsoft stack on your computer.
Check the documentation that came with the Bluetooth
® adapter to see if it supports
the Microsoft stack.
• Widcomm stack : If you have an HP computer with Bluetooth
® built in, or if you have
installed an HP bt450, then your computer has the Widcomm stack. If you have an
HP computer and plug in an HP bt450, it will install automatically using the Widcomm
stack.
To install and print using the Microsoft stack
1. Make sure that you have installed the HP Photosmart software on the computer.
NOTE: The purpose of installing the software is to make sure the printer driver
is available for the Bluetooth® connection. Therefore, if you have already installed
the software, you do not need to reinstall it. If you want both a USB and a
Bluetooth
® connection to the HP Photosmart, install the USB connection first. For
more information, see the Setup Guide. However, if you do not want a USB
connection, select  Directly to the computer  on the Connection Type  screen.
Also, on the  Connect Your Device Now  screen, select the check box next to If
you are unable to connect your device now...  at the bottom of the screen.
2.Attach an HP bt450 to the front USB port of the HP Photosmart.
3. If you are using an external Bluetooth
® adapter for your computer, make sure your
computer is started and then attach the Bluetooth® adapter to a USB port on the
computer. If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed,
the Bluetooth
® drivers are installed automatically. If you are prompted to select a
Bluetooth® profile, select  HCRP.
If your computer has Bluetooth® built in, just make sure  the computer is started.
4. On the Windows  taskbar, click Start, and then click  Printers and Faxes  (or click
Control Panel , and then Printers).
5. Double-click the  Add Printer icon (or click  Add a printer ).
6. Click  Next, and then select  A Bluetooth Printer .
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation.
8. Print as you would to any printer.

Use printer sharing
If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an
HP Photosmart connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer
sharing.
The computer directly connected to the HP Photosmart acts as the  host for the printer
and has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a  client,
has access only to the print features. You must perform other functions from the host
computer or from the control panel on the HP Photosmart.
To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer
▲ Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen
Help.

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.
❑ A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection.
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.
Connect the HP Photos mart to the network
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network, use the Ethernet port on the back of the
device.
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network
1. Remove the yellow plug from the back of the HP Photosmart.
