Hi , 

Follow these steps to install your HP product on a wireless network.

Figure : Example of a wireless network connection

Important: Before you can install the product, your wireless network must already be set up. To set up your network, follow the instructions that came with your particular access point.

 NOTE:

If you set up device filtering on your access point and need to find the IP or MAC address of your HP product, see Additional Information at the end of this document.

Step one: Prepare for installation

Follow these steps to prepare for the wireless installation.

Important: Set up the HP hardware before installing the software. If you have not already done so, find the hardware setup document for your product before starting the following steps.

1. Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
   • Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
   • A WEP key or WPA security passphrase.
   • A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
   • Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
   • Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
   • Administrator privileges or a password
2. Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all turned on.
3. Disconnect any USB or Ethernet cable that is connected to the product.
4. Exit all applications running on your computer.

Step two: Connect to the wireless network

Click the Plus sign () for information on which connection method to use.

Method one: Connect using the Wireless Setup Wizard

Method two: Connect using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Step three: Decide whether to install with the product CD or download the software

Don’t worry if you don't have the product CD! You can download the most current software available for your product from the HP Web site at no cost. The following information might help you decide which installation method to use:

CD

Download

The CD provides a quick and easy installation method.

If you do not have a CD, you can download the software you need from the HP Web site.

CD installation might not work if you are installing the product on a computer running a newer operating system that released AFTER the HP product released.

Even though it takes more time than using the CD, downloading the latest software can help avoid installation issues.

Downloading is the recommended method if your computer operating system released after the HP product released.

The software on the CD is current to the date of the product release.

The software that you can download from the HP Web site is the most current software available for your product. HP often updates software and drivers AFTER the product and CD release to the market.

Step four: Install the product software

Click the Plus sign () next to the installation method that you want to use (CD or download) for steps to install the software.

Important: If you get any firewall messages during the installation, click unblock, accept, continue, yes, allow, or permit, or the installation will fail. 

Then Insert the DVD in the computer and install the software .
