1. You need to find out the IP of that printer and manually connect the printer through control panel.
2. Did u try adding it as a network printer? Do u have XP or Vista?
3. You'll either need the install disk or you can download the install program from Hp's website...It will ask you if you want to install from the network (about half way though) and that should do it. Good luck...
4. you need to install the software and drivers on your computer first
5. Click the START button and go to PRINTERS AND FAXES and then click the ADD A PRINTER link on the left and then click Next on the screen that pops up. Then hit the radio button for A NETWORK PRINTER, OR A PRINTER ATTACHED TO ANOTHER COMPUTER and the click NEXT. Click the radio button for BROWSE FOR A PRINTER and then click NEXT. **I hope your printer is already on btw** and then click the name of the printer and set it as your default if you like...Good Luck!
