Default Connecting to Networked Printer via USB Port

Hi,

I'm a consultant at a client site with no access to their network or
their printers. I tried to connect directly to one of these networked
printers using the USB port on the printer. After loading and
installing the printer drivers in my laptop (for a Laserjet 4350dtn),
I would get a printing error messagewhen trying to print a document.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether this is an installation
problem in my laptop, or if what I'm trying to do creates a conflict
at the printer level between the network connection and the USB
connection.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
HR

The printer is networked and not accessible directly from your laptop.
Disconnect the printer from the network and then you'll be able to access it.
