Setting Up the Server

1

Install the HP OfficeJet Pro 1170C Series software on the server,
as described in Chapter 2 of this User’s Guide.

Next, set up the server so that other computers on the network can
print to the HP OfficeJet Pro and access files.

NOTE

See “Enabling file and printer sharing” and “Sharing your printer with other
people” in Microsoft Windows 95/98 Help for detailed instructions.

Now, create a special folder that people using other computers on
the network will be allowed to access. Name this folder
appropriately, so that it is identified clearly as a shared folder (for
example, “Share” or “Scanfiles”).
