If the printer is connected to a router using Wi-Fi or hardwired ethernet, then any of those two Win11 system can print to it.

Thanks. I have one wired connection and eventually got the other Pc connected via WiFi Direct & helped at the end by HP Smart.  Instruction leaflet does not mention connecting the printer to 2 or more PCs.

Now you have me confused.  If PC are connected directly to the printer normally they cannot access the internet at the same time.

 

Your m255 should have a front panel like my Cm1415.  It should be connected to the router's wi-fi just like the PCs right?

 

Anyway, I guess it is working.
