I was working for a client who has a new HP 4200n printer. Someone else set up the networking. The printer is networked to the tcp/ip address 192.168.0.102. I want to setup a Win95 computer to print to it but putting the TCP/IP port in the network address line does not work. I have browsed the network and can't find any name for it. I have pinged the address in dos. What is the best way to set it up?

You'll need to tell windows how to reach that address (convert it into a port). HP has client software for that pourpose, like the one to link PCs to it's JetDirect printer servers.

What you are looking for is HP's JETADMIN software...

Surf the web and you will find the download for it:

(Remove any spaces)

Install it, reboot... goto start--settings--printers, add printer... Select Jetadmin port, Custom setup, tcp/ip... Input the i.p. address... next, next, next, finished.

Voila'...

Good luck
