The computer directly connected to the HP All-in-One acts as the host for the printer and

has full software functionality. The other computer, which is referred to as a client, has

access only to the print features. You must perform other functions, such as scanning

and copying, from the host computer or from the control panel on the HP All-in-One.

To enable printer sharing on a Windows computer

▲ Refer to the user guide that came with your computer or see the Windows onscreen

Help.
