Alternative Wireless Connection Method
To connect the HP Printer 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.
If you connect the HP Printer 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).
❑
A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network
interface card (NIC). The computer must have an available USB port to temporarily
connect to the product. The computer must be connected to the wireless network that
you intend to install the HP Printer on.
❑
The network name assigned to your home network. Also called the SSID.
❑
WEP key or WPA Passphrase (if needed).
