4. Plug the power cord into the print adapter and the power outlet and verify that the power light comes on.

5. Turn the printer on.

Install the Network Print Adapter software:

Note: Select “Always Allow” to any dialogs that display from your firewall software.

3. Click Install to install the software.

4. Accept the license agreement.

5. If you haven’t already connected the Print Adapter and turned on the printer, do so now.

6. Select your Network Print Adapter from the list and click Next. The files will begin to copy, and a window will display showing the printer that has been found.

7. Click Finish to complete the installation. It is recommended to leave the “For best results, allow all users full printer access.” box checked. If this box is unchecked, only an administrator can restart the printer if it pauses.

Leave your printer attached to the HP Q6275A USB Network Print Adapter.

1. Insert the printer software CD or start the downloaded driver installation.

2. When the software asks you to plug in the USB cable, do the following:

a. Right-click the Connection Manager icon in the system tray (lower-right corner of your screen).

b. Select Connect. After a few moments, the icon will change to show a successful connection.

If you already have the printer software installed on your computer, follow these instructions:

1. Right-click the Connection Manager icon in the system tray (lower-right corner of your screen).

2. Click Connect. After a few moments, the icon will change to show a successful connection.

You can use the Connection Manager icon in the System Tray (lower-right corner of your screen) to perform the following tasks with your HP Q6275A:

• Check the status.

• Change printers.

• Access the Print Queue.

• Connect or Disconnect.

The Connection Manager for the HP Q6275A uses several icons to indicate the status of the print adapter. The three common icons are:

• Green Checkmark Icon: The printer or all-in-one device is connected and ready to use.

• Gray Printer Icon: The Network Print Adapter can detect the printer or all-in-one, but it is not currently connected. The device will be automatically reconnected if a print job is sent. If you want to scan or use memory card slots, you will need to manually reconnect the device by right-clicking the icon and selecting Connect.

• Red X Icon: The Network Print Adapter cannot detect the printer. Check to see if all cables are connected between the adapter and printer and that both are plugged in and have power.

Use the Print Queue to cancel or pause a print job. If you get a message that the print job has failed, you should cancel the job to delete it from the print queue.

1. Right-click the Connection Manager icon and select Print Queue.

2. Right-click the print job in the Print Manager and select Cancel.

If you have more than one printer using a HP Q6275A on your network, you can change the printer that your computer is connected to:

1. Right-click the Connection Manager icon and select Select Printer…

2. Select a different printer and click Select.

If the icon does not appear in the system tray, you need to restart the Connection Manager.

Go to Start -> All Programs -> HP USB Network Print Adapter-> Restart connection manager.

The Advanced Setup screen allows you to discover your IP and Mac addresses and, if necessary for your network, manually change the IP address.

1. Go to Start -> All Programs -> HP USB Network Print Adapter-> Advanced Setup. The IP and MAC addresses of all network print adapters on your network will display.

2. Select the adapter and click Next. The IP Address Setting screen will display.

3. Choose one of the following:

a. Select Obtain IP Address automatically if you have a DHCP server on your LAN and click Next.

OR

a. If you do not have a DHCP server on your LAN, you must select Use the following IP Address.

If the HP Q6275A is not detected during installation, consider the following causes and solutions:

Cause: Either the printer or the HP Q6275A has no power or a cable is unplugged.

Solution: Check the power cords and cables between the devices and the network.

Cause: In a corporate environment, the firewall may be configured to never allow access and may not give any messages.

Solution: Consult with your IT department and ask them to grant access to the Network Print Adapter.

Cause: Your HP Q6275A is on a different subnet from your computer.

Solution: The Network Print Adapter must be on the same subnet as your computer. Move the Network Print Adapter.

If you can print but other functions like scanning do not work with your HP Q6275A, try the following solutions:

Cause: The wrong printer instance is selected in the HP software.

Solution: If you had previously installed the printer on this computer, a second instance of your printer was created when the Network Printer Adapter software was installed (e.g., HP Deskjet 5940 and HP Deskjet 5940 (copy 1)). Make sure the new version of the printer is selected in the HP software. Check the online help for the HP Director or the HP Solution Center for instructions on selecting the printer.

Cause: This is a known problem with some older HP drivers for All-in-Ones.

Solution: If you are not having problems printing, it is recommended that you use Windows or other applications for scanning and reading memory cards.

1. Open My Computer. Under Name you will see listings for the scanner and memory card slots. For example, if you have an HP Officejet 7310, you will have devices listed such as “7310 Memory (E:)” and “HP Officejet 7300 series…”. With some printers, the memory card slot may simply be named “Removable Disk”.

2. To access images on a memory card, double-click the device memory name (for example, 7310 Memory). The images will be displayed as if it was a disk drive.

3. To scan using Windows applications, right-click the name next to “Image scanner” (for example, HP Officejet 7300 series…) and select Scan.

If you cannot print after installing the HP Q6275A software, check the following:

Cause: The connection between the Network Print Adapter and the network has not been established.

Solution: Check the Print Adapter icon in the System Tray. If it does not have a green checkmark, the connection has been lost.

1. Right-click the Network Print Adapter icon in the System Tray.

2. Select Connect.

If that does not work, try exiting and restarting the Connection Manager:

1. Right-click the Print Adapter icon in the System Tray.

2. Select Exit.

3. Go to Start -> All Programs -> HP USB Network Print Adapter-> Restart connection manager.

Cause: The printer software is very old or not completely installed.

Solution:

1. Verify that you can print using a direct USB cable connection.

2. Download the latest printer driver and install all components.

Cause: You have an authenticated network in an Enterprise environment.

Solution: The HP Q6275A was designed for a small network environment where you can control all the settings. If you have that type of small network, verify that you have all the settings recorded correctly.
