Direct connection
In the direct (or local) configuration, the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printer is connected directly to
the host computer with a USB cable. In this configuration, the printer is not shared. A single user has
complete physical control over the printer. In this configuration, you have access to all of the printer
features.
Network connection options
The following networking options are available for the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printer:
●

Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only)

●
Network connection using onboard networking (HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and HP Color
LaserJet 2605dtn printers only)
Local connection that uses Microsoft peer-to-peer networking (Windows only)
Use Microsoft Windows to share a local printer over the network. The operating system handles all of
the networking issues. The product prints in this configuration, but only the local computer can use the
HP ToolboxFX. Also, because Microsoft peer-to-peer networking is unidirectional, network users do not
receive printer-status messages when they print to the product.
NOTE
driver architectures, such as HP Traditional drivers and HP Unidrivers. To use a mix of operating
systems, you must install an alternate print driver and download the driver for the specific
operating system.
Network connection using onboard networking (HP Color LaserJet 2605dn and
HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn printers only)
The following are required for your HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printer to work on a network
