I would stick with the print queues; the problem seems to be with the HP print server receiving multiple jobs simultaneously - just has trouble with that.

Using the print queue allows everyone to print, but the print server to only get one job at a time.

First, print a configuration page from your printer, and find out what it's current TCP/IP address is. Most HP printers you can do this from the menu, or by a combination of the control panel switches. Your manual should show you how.


Start you web browser, and connect to the printer using the tcp/ip address, and on the left hand side of the page, you can set up Internet Printing, which bypasses the print server completely.

For your 95/98 ( and your NT ) workstations, you can downloadHP Jetadmin. Install it, and using the simple setup, you can add tcp/ip printers.

In both cases, you are printing directly from the Workstation to the printer without going through the printserver on the server.

I wouldnt recomend using print directly to the printer, the hdd in the printer usually in used for collating, multiple copies and to download fonts permantely.
