I have a wireless network (5g and 2.4g) with 4 to 5 computers online at any one time. Do I need to have HP driver software on ALL of the computers or only the one that I use to set it up?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

If you're planning to print and scan from the 4-5 Computers, you will need to have the software installed on those computers.  However, only need to setup and connect the printer once to the network.  After the printer is connected, simply install the software on the rest of the Computers (the software should detect the printer and install)

 

Try the HP Smart app or for more Scan features features, use the HP FULL Solution software.
