Configuring the printer 55
Setting up for 802.11 using factory defaults
The factory default wireless network settings are:
Communication mode: ad hoc
Network name (SSID): hpsetup
Security (encryption): disabled
NOTE: On the Mac OS, an ad hoc network is referred to as a computer to computer network.
To set up using ad hoc mode and factory defaults with a USB cable (Windows and
Mac OS)
You can set up your printer on a wireless ad hoc network (Windows) or computer to computer network
(Mac OS) using the default settings if you have a USB cable nearby for a temporary connection. Follow
these steps to connect to the printer using its factory default ad hoc network settings:
1. Close any running applications.
2. Insert the Starter CD into the CD drive. The CD menu runs automatically.
If the CD menu does not start automatically, double-click the Setup icon on the Starter CD.
3. On the CD menu, click Install Printer Driver (Windows) or Install Driver (Mac OS).
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the software installation, temporarily connecting a USB
cable when prompted. Mac OS only: Complete the installation using the HP Deskjet 460 Network
Setup Tool, which launches automatically during setup.
NOTE: When new 802.11 settings are sent to the printer to configure one of the wireless profiles, the
printer will turn off and then back on again (power cycle) to enable the settings.
To configure additional 802.11 wireless profiles after you have set up the printer, see Configuring and
using 802.11 wireless profiles.
To set up using ad hoc mode and factory defaults with no USB cable (Windows)
You can set up your printer on a wireless ad hoc network using the default settings even if you have no
USB cable. Follow these steps to connect to the printer using its factory default ad hoc network settings:
1. Open the configuration utility for your computer’s wireless network card, then do the following:
a. Create a new wireless profile with the following values:
Communication mode: ad hoc
Network name (SSID): hpsetup
Security (encryption): disabled
b. Activate the profile.
2. Wait two minutes for the printer to obtain an IP address, then print a wireless configuration page by
holding down (Cancel button) for more than two seconds.
