Install software on additional computers
If you have additional computers on your network, install the printer software on each
computer that will use the printer. Follow the onscreen instructions. Make sure that you
choose the connection type between the network and your printer (not between your
computer and the network). Select Wired if the printer is connected to the network with
a wired connection or select Wireless if the printer is connected to the network with a
wireless connection.
Once you have set up your printer on the network, you will not need to configure it
again when you add additional computers. During the installation of a wireless
connection, the software will discover the SSID (network name) of the existing
network.
Wireless ad hoc network setup
An ad hoc wireless network is a direct wireless connection between a computer and
the printer without a wireless hub or router. It is not secure and is separate from any
existing networks. Ad hoc connections are sometimes used to configure the printer for
a wireless network or can be used when no wireless network exists.
Devices on the ad hoc network must:
• Be 802.11b compatible (includes 802.11g devices)
• Have ad hoc as the communication mode
• Have the same network name (SSID)
• Be on the same subnet
• Be on the same channel
• Have the same wireless security settings
