HP Photosmart overview
2 Network setup
This section describes how to connect the HP Photosmart to a router, switch, or hub using
an Ethernet cable and how to install the HP Photosmart software for a network
connection. This is known as a wired or Ethernet network.
To set up the HP Photosmart on a wired
network, you need to do the following:
See this section:
First, collect all of the required materials.
Next, connect to a wired network.
Finally, install the software.
“What you need for a wired network”
on page 5
“Connect the HP Photosmart to the network”
on page 6
“Install the software for a network connection”
on page 7
What you need for a wired network
Before you connect the HP Photosmart to a network, make sure you have all of the
required materials.
❑ A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet
port.
❑ CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they
are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each

has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45
connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone
connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.
❑ A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection.
NOTE: The HP Photosmart supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet
networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card
(NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.
Connect the HP Photosmart to the network
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network, use the Ethernet port on the back of the
device.
To connect the HP Photosmart to the network
1. Remove the yellow plug from the back of the HP Photosmart.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the HP Photosmart.
