Create a network profile for other operating systems
If you have an operating system other than Windows XP, HP recommends that you use
the configuration program that came with your wireless LAN card. To find the
configuration program for your wireless LAN card, access your computer's list of
programs.
Using the LAN card configuration program, create a network profile that has the following
values:
• Network name (SSID): Mynetwork (example only)
NOTE: You should create a network name that is unique and easy for you to
remember. Just remember that the network name is case-sensitive. Therefore,
you must remember which letters are uppercase and lowercase.
• Communication mode: Ad Hoc
• Encryption: enabled
Connect to a wireless ad hoc network
You can use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the HP Photosmart to a wireless ad
hoc network.
To connect to a wireless ad hoc network
1. Touch Setup on the display.
2. Touch Network.
NOTE: If the menu option you want is not visible on the screen, touch or
to scroll through all the menu options.
3. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard.
This runs the Wireless Setup Wizard. The setup wizard searches for available
networks, and then displays a list of detected network names (SSIDs). The
infrastructure networks appear first in the list, followed by available ad hoc networks.
The networks with the strongest signal appear first, the weakest appear last.
4. On the display, look for the network name you created on your computer (for example,
Mynetwork).
