Over the weekend I purchased a new HP Wireless All-In-One Printer (Photosmart C 4780). It took some time to set up and connect to my HP Tablet. The installation disk gave me an issue and had to restart the installation.
The time to install was greater than anticipated however I did not think about the software (scanner, copier) that had to be installed as well as the printer drivers.
All in all it installed with only one hitch and I was satisfied with that.
After getting the drivers installed then came the ‘network’ connection fun. Did I mention that this installation was in a 29 ft. travel trailer in the woods at a campground?
My network is a HP Mini running Verizon Access Manager and that is how I wirelessly connect to the Internet while on the road. I use Connectify (free software) as a hub so that my tablet PC can also connect to the Internet via the HP Mini.
I was not sure how Connectify (or the printer) would handle this network.
Once the printer drivers were installed all I did was follow the instructions that came with the printer for connecting to a network. It worked like a charm.
Now I am one happy camper.
