Use printer sharing
If your computer is on a network, and another computer on the network has an HP All-
in-One connected to it by a USB cable, you can print to that printer using printer sharing.
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.
