automatically during the HP Photo and Imaging software installation, and causes
the HP Director (All-in-One) icon to be created in the Dock for your device. You
access the device capabilities via the HP Director menu that is associated with
the HP Director (All-in-One) icon.

In the Dock, click the
HP Director (All-in-One)
icon for your device.
The HP Director menu displays.
Note:
If you install more than one HP device, an HP Director icon for each
device appears in the Dock. For example, if you have an HP scanner and
an HP Officejet installed, two HP Director icons are present in the Dock, one
for each device. However, if you installed two of the same kind of device
(for example, two HP Officejet devices) only one HP Director icon appears
in the Dock to represent all devices of that kind.
