As they are both wireless you just need to have them set up with different IP addresses the manual should clarify how to set a static IP address on the printers.



EDIT: Page 11 of the manual states how to install a network printer I suggest you get one going then do the second afterwards.

you will need to change ip address of one of the printers so you can work them Independently from one another. how to change the ip will very from printer to printer you should be able to find it in the printers documentation or on the hp website.

One will be the default printer and one will not. You can go into the properties tab of the pinter options and change the default as needed.
