Networking a Printer

by sgklein . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

I set up a star topology network: 4 Dell PCs with MS XP Pro, 1 HP 2200DN Laserjet w/NIC and a Netgear 8 Port Hub.

All the PCs are connected and the network is functioning. How do I configure the Laser printer to run directly from the hub througha patch cable and shared by the network? The network does not have a server. I currently have the printer connected to one of the PCs via USB. But I would like to be able to access the printer w/o having to always turn that particular computer on.
I have the IP address and subnet mask of the Laser NIC.
