HP Photosmart D110 - Wireless and Wired Setup - At the same time

[eomar500]

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS ANY DETAIL I SAY MATTERS. IF ANY FURTHER INFO. IS NEDDED PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Hello Community I'm trying to know, step by step, how I can set up my printer to a Network via Wired and so any other device connected to that Network can print from it.

I used to have my printer connected via wired to my Main PC, but soon it came the need to print from other places from my house and I remembered that my printer had this great ability, so I wanted to know how, step by step. I tried to set it up by myself but I couldn't, I helped myself with the HP Solutions and Guides, and somehow I missed something.

Details:

Main PC OS: Windows XP 32-bit (It has the latest Updates)
Printer: HP Photosmart D110 a
Router: Apple Time Capsule 

I uninstalled the printer from my computer so don't get any errors.

Here is the deal, I want to connect my printer to my Main PC via Wired (cable), once it be succesfully installed, I want to connect that printer to my Network (Time Capsule Network) via Wireless, so any other device connected to that Network can print from it.

If anyone can take the time to tell me how to do that, step by step, with links from HP info. etc. if it's needed.

I already know how to set up a Static IP Address to my printer and all the IT stuff, so don't worry, anything you tell to me I would understand it, all I need to know is what to do exactly, but the deal is when (step by step).

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I noticed you said "Network via Wired" and then said "wireless. I will gladly to assist you. Just to you let you know, you cannot be WIRELESS and WIRED NETWORK (Ethernet). You can be WIRELESS and plug the main PC in as USB cable. So here are some steps to downloading the drivers and connecting your MAIN PC (USB) and the others (Wireless).

Connecting to the MAIN PC wired (USB)
1. Connect the USB cable from the printer directly to the main PC.
2. Download the drivers from the website (http://goo.gl/BVOOg), or if you have the CD.

Note: Whenever you download the software and drivers from the website. Make sure to choose the FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE.
1. Choose Drivers and Software
2. Type in Product name (click search)
3. Choose Operating System (click next)
4. Choose Download (scroll down to the FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE)
5. After downloading the Software, it will EXTRACT
6. It will give you an option on how you want it connected
7. You will choose USB for the Main PC

Connecting NETWORK WIRELESS
1. Go to Settings on your printer
2. Choose Network
3. Choose WIRELESS SETUP WIZARD
4. This will search for your router (If wireless). Choose your router and it will set the printer up wireless.
5. Go to the other computers and follow the steps above on downloading the drivers.
6. When it comes to SELECT Connection, Choose (Wireless/Network)

This way, you can print from your main PC through (USB wired), and the other computers wireless.

If your ROUTER is not wireless, and you only can use the network with a cable (Ethernet), then you can only print by plugging the ETHERNET cable from the router to whichever PC your choosing to print from at the time. Also plug another Ethernet cable from the router to the printer.

I hope this helps out, if you need anymore assistance please ask, thanks.
