is possible to have both the Microsoft Stack and the Widcomm Stack on your
computer, but use only one of them to connect the HP All-in-One.
●
Microsoft stack If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed on your
computer, then your computer has the Microsoft Bluetooth
®
Protocol Stack. The
Microsoft stack allows you to install an external Bluetooth
®
adapter automatically.
If your Bluetooth
®
adapter supports the Microsoft stack but it does not install
automatically, then you do not have the Microsoft stack on your computer. Check
the documentation that came with the Bluetooth
®
adapter to see if it supports the
Microsoft stack.
●
Widcomm stack: If you have an HP computer with Bluetooth
®
built in, or if you
have installed an HP bt450, then your computer has the Widcomm stack. If you
have an HP computer and plug in an HP bt450, it will install automatically using
the Widcomm stack.
To install and print using the Microsoft stack
1.
Make sure that you have installed the HP All-in-One software on the computer.
Note
The purpose of installing the software is to make sure the printer
driver is available for the Bluetooth
®
connection. Therefore, if you have
already installed the software, you do not need to reinstall it. If you want
both a USB and a Bluetooth
®
connection to the HP All-in-One, install the
USB connection first. For more information, see the Setup Guide.
