1. Configure the wireless printer to communicate on your network.
You will use the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard for this task. (This step
puts the printer on your wireless network. It is functionally equivalent to
plugging the network cable into a printer on a wired network.)
a. Choose a wireless computer from your wireless network.
During the configuration your computer will be communicating with
the wireless printer in ad hoc mode, which involves direct wireless
communication between the computer and the printer (without going
through a wireless access point).
b. Make a note of your computer's wireless settings. You will
configure these settings onto the wireless printer.

c. Insert the HP Jetdirect CD into the wireless computer's CD-

with the wireless printer
