I have a HP Photosmart C4580 printer, It has been installed on my laptop but now I wish to set it up on a wireless network but no longer have the printer software. Can I still set it up ??How do I set up a HP Photosmart C4580 to a wireless network without software?
if the printer is wireless enabled then you should be able to. never done this before but i'am pretty sure you can do it. i think you can set it up as a shared printer in your network.How do I set up a HP Photosmart C4580 to a wireless network without software?
Yes you can... assuming you use DHCP on your network and don't use security. And, unfortunately using DHCP, your printer's IP may change requiring you to %26quot;Add a Printer%26quot; each time.
So instead, download your drivers and software for YOUR printer from HP for free here...

You will need to go to hp.com and support and drivers, and download the minimal drivers for just connecting to the printer and using it with basic drivers. Make sure you have the ability to connect to the printer on the same method of communication, bluetooth printer requires your computer to have bluetooth, same for wi-fi. make sure you configure the wireless settings for the printer to connect to your router properly(unless it broadcasts on bluetooth, which would require less setup). and you can use it, but you will need HPs basic driver set. And yes, you can uninstall HP's terrible software suite that hijacks your computers resources.
