When you add a printer onto the print server, you go in and 'add a port'. In that section you have the standard ports,
-digital network port
-LPR port
-Local port

in that section, i need to manually add another port option. The port i wantto add would be an HP Jetdirect port. That i use to then config the NIC on the printer.. The print server is NT4.0
Thanks a trillion.

You need to install the Jet Direct software that came with the printer or download it on the HP website

I recently had exactly the same problem:
Go to HP.com and under support you will find "downloading software for installing Jet Direct Printers". Here you will find the wizard you need. for Win 98 it was named "ja255en.exe" but there is one for NT and others . After downloading, (about 8 MB) just open and run the wizard it does it all!

Yea, you just need the "jet direct" software and the option for HP jetdirect port will be there.
