When you have configured the HP Jetdirect print server with a
wireless connection to your network, your network computers
should be able to communicate with the printer. If so, you can then
use printer installation software to install the printer on each
system that will send print jobs directly to the printer.
Note To install the printer on the wireless computer that

printer, you can try the following:

other parameters will provide an indication that the printer is
communicating on the network.

(Internet Protocol) address. The IP address will be listed on the
Jetdirect configuration page. If the default IP address
