Network Printer

[OldManEd]

Shenan,

I don't see this option, create a new Standard TCP/IP Port, anywhere using
the Add Printer Wizard. Is there a way to do this manually? Or do I do this
somewhere in the Router's configuration, 192.168.0.1?

I have installed an HP JetDirect J2550 internal print server card
into a HP LaserJet 4 Plus. I had no trouble using VISTA Home
Premium to set up a network printer.

However, I have been unable to duplicate this using Windows XP
Home. The IP address of the network printer is 192.168.0.7. How
(where) do I enter this info in Windows XP?

Can someone please help.

Add a printer.
When asked for the port, create a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" and put it in
there.

Thanks.

I don't remember seeing this as an option. Will try again. Was it
part of the Wizard?

You chose the incorrect option using "a network printer" - it is still a
local printer.

Watch this:

Wondering how I found that?
