Lan Printer
Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web:195304
I have recently begun using my personal notebook with XPp Home at my work. We have a LAN through which I am able to connect to our DSL and get mail and the web, but I cannot seem to get the network printer to work. We have numerous Macs that have a DCHP(?) connection set up that seems to find the IP address of the printer, but the printer set up wizard on xp does not seem to give me any option to find or specify the IP address. When I run the trouble shooter, it never even seems to care. ANY HINTS? |

On the "Local or Network Printer" screen, select "Local printer attached to this computer", and un-check "Automatically detect my Plug and Play printer". 2. Click Next. 3. On the "Select a Printer Port" screen, click "Create a new type of port", and choose "Standard TCP/IP Port". 4. Click Next twice. 5. Enter the printer's name or IP address. 6. Follow the rest of the prompts.
