Hi all guys,

My boss asked me to set up a small 10BaseT Ethernet to share our HP
Laserjet 5 printer.

We are planning to insert the printer in our w95 LAN directly throught the
optional ethernet Adapter (model J2552A).

How can I configure a Windows 95 machine to manage the printer in this
environment (i.e. no Windows NT workstations/servers on wich I can
configure lpt ports)?

Do the software that comes with the printer allow me to cope with this?

TIA
Giorgio

1st off, my apologies for crossposting this to 6 newsgroups, I'm
hoping that whoever posted the original message gets my reply :)

is this also known as a JetDirect Card ???
(i'm assuming it is, as my knowledge of network printers assumes the
use of the HP jetdirect cards for network printers)

If i understand correctly you wont need to! - the printer (with the
addition of a network adapter becomes a standalone unit with it's own
IP(x) address, the drivers that come with the interface should allow
you to install the printer for use on all the required machines and
everything should work ok :)

with the 5Si i use at work you can even telnet to it to configure it!
- alternatively all the configuration can be done from a display panel
on the printer


hope this helps

Follow the directions on the HP web site for Windows 95 peer to peer
printing. You need JetAdmin.

You will need to install Jetadmin on each PC taht will print to the
printer, and you will add a JetDriect port to the printer's driver.
