Your S-series printer has a network port next to the USB port. Once it is on your network, any Windows PC or Mac in the office can add it as a network printer and share it. No USB cable at the desk, no computer tied to the printer.
Cable the printer to your router. Windows: run the Seaory driver setup, let the Configure Network Printer Tool find the printer, click Add Printer. Mac: Printers & Scanners → add by IP, address = the printer's IP followed by :5352, HP Jetdirect – Socket, Seaory driver.
Before you start
- Plug an Ethernet cable from the port on the back of the printer into your router or switch, and power the printer on. The printer picks up an address from your network by itself.
- Have the Seaory driver installer handy. It is on the USB drive that shipped with your Seaory printer. Windows uses the network tool built into the installer; Mac uses the driver it installs.
On Windows: let the Seaory tool find the printer
You do not add the printer by hand. The Seaory driver installer ends with a Configure Network Printer Tool that searches the network, shows every Seaory printer it finds, and adds the one you pick.
On the last screen, Completing Seaory card printer driver Setup, click Finish. The Configure Network Printer Tool opens. Already have the driver installed? Run the setup again; it will take you to the same tool.
The tool searches automatically and lists what it finds: Model, Serial Number, IP Address and MAC Address. Write the IP address down, you will want it for any Mac.

Select the printer and click Assign IP address to set one that never changes. If you would rather do it on the router, reserve the address there instead. Either way, do one of them, or the printer will go missing after the next router restart.
Windows now has it as a network printer. Print a test card to confirm.
On Mac: add it by IP address
From the USB drive that shipped with the printer. The next step needs it in the list.
Address: the printer's IP address followed by :5352, for example 10.10.1.31:5352. Protocol: HP Jetdirect – Socket. Queue: leave blank. Name: anything you like.

Seaory S25, S26 or S28. Click OK, then Add.
Print a test card to confirm the connection.
Keeping it working
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Printer stopped responding after a router restart | Its IP address changed. Give it a fixed address (Assign IP address in the Windows tool, or a reservation on the router), then re-add it on any Mac with the new address. |
| The Windows tool finds nothing | Check the cable and the link light on the printer's network port, make sure the PC is on the same network (not a guest Wi-Fi), and search again. |
| Prints from one computer but not another | Each computer adds the printer separately, using the same steps above. |
| Two jobs sent at once | The printer takes them one at a time. The second waits in the queue. |
