Making sure you have the right printer accessories is the most important part of any printer set up job. Before getting started make sure you read the specifications, purchase any additional printer accessories you'll need and read the instructions with your purchase carefully. Here are some brief instructions. But, please rely on your printer and printer accessories instruction manuals for details.
Printer Accessories Needed:
?Router
?Wireless-capable computers
?Wireless-capable printer
?HP Printer Network Card
Step 1
Check to make sure that all of the computers you want to network with the HP wireless printer are capable of doing so. If they are not, you may want to shop for printer accessories that will make them adaptable. The system will require a certain amount of storage capacity in the computers to load and execute the program.
Step 2
Set up a router system on your main computer. Routers help send the wireless signal. Chances are you already have a router set up on your computer to send your Internet signal to other computers in your home or office. If you do not have a router, shop for printer accessories.
Step 3
Purchase the HP printer you have decided on and the printer accessories you need. HP printers come in a wide variety with many different functions. Choose the one that is right for your business. Just make sure it is network capable and has a preinstalled HP printer network card. It will tell you this either on the box or in the information when you are browsing for one.
Step 4
Unpack the printer and printer accessories and set them in a handy location for all users. The only hard-wire hook-up the printer needs is to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Install the new ink or toner cartridges and any other printer accessories according to the manufacturer's directions.
Step 5
Load the CD program that comes with the printer. This CD will need to be installed on each computer or laptop that needs access to the printer. Once the CD program is installed, the router attached to the main computer will allow each desk top computer or laptop to locate the printer signal.
