wasnt sure if i should put this under "windows" because its drivers/services, or this forum because its hardware. oh well. just move it if need be

i just got an hp 5850 network printer. i have it running wirelessly in the house. i used the setup cd on my parent's computer, and i noticed it is running one more service than usual. i want to know if there is a way i can use this printer without having an addtional service running on my computer.

i was thinking, it should be under the network somewhere right? i went to add printer, and it showed all the networked computers and such, but no hp printer....it's confusing :-\
