The <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software can be used with the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer in<br />
the following configurations:<br />
● Direct Connection. Install the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software on a computer that is<br />
directly connected to the product through a USB port and running Microsoft Windows 2000 or<br />
Microsoft Windows XP.<br />
In this configuration, the printer is not shared. A single user has complete physical control over the<br />
printer. In this configuration, access is available to all of the printer features.<br />
● Shared direct connection using Microsoft peer-to-peer networking. Install the<br />
<strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system software on a computer that is directly connected to the product<br />
through a USB port and running Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft<br />
Windows Server 2003 . Then share the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer with other users on the network<br />
by using Microsoft Windows sharing.<br />
When you use Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network, the operating system<br />
handles all of the networking issues. The product prints in this configuration, but only the local<br />
computer can use the <strong>HP</strong> ToolboxFX. Also, because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is<br />
unidirectional, network users do not receive printer-status messages when they print to the product.<br />
NOTE: <strong>HP</strong> does not support vending drivers across operating systems that have different printdriver<br />
architectures, such as <strong>HP</strong> Traditional drivers and <strong>HP</strong> Unidrivers. To use a mix of operating<br />
systems, download and install an alternative print driver for the specific operating system.<br />
● Network connection using onboard networking. Install the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printing-system<br />
software on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP and that<br />
has access to a local area network (LAN) to which the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer is also connected .<br />
The <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>n, the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>dn, and the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong>x printers have<br />
onboard networking that connects to a LAN through a 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port.<br />
The following elements are required for a networked <strong>HP</strong> <strong>LaserJet</strong> <strong>P2015</strong> printer:<br />
◦ An installed network that uses the TCP/IP network protocol<br />
◦ A cable for your type of network connection (not included)<br />
Microsoft Windows installation for direct connections<br />
