HP’s JetAdmin compatible method (TCP/IP or
IPX/SPX)
To use a peer-to-peer print queue from a Windows 95/98 workstation, first make sure that the
following items are configured in the Network Control Panel:
• TCP/IP Protocol or the IPX/SPX compatible protocol.
• HP JetAdmin (the latest version can be downloaded from the HP Web site).
1. Go to the Start button and choose Settings then select Printers.
2. Click on the Add Printer icon.
3. Click on Next.
4. Select Local printer and click on Next again.
✒ Note
The initial release of Windows 95/98 does not support printing from DOS applications (this is
a Microsoft/HP limitation).
5. Select the correct printer model (click Have Disk if your printer is not listed), and click
on Next.
6. If the driver already exists, select Keep Existing Driver (if it does not, this step will be
skipped), and then click on Next.
7. If desired, change the name of the printer and/or make it the default and then click on
Next.
8. Select Yes when you are asked, "Would you like to print a test page?" Click on Finish
to complete the installation.
9. Confirm the printer is created in the printer group. Then open the property dialog of the
printer.
10. Select the detail tab and click the Add Port Button.
11. Click ”Other” and select the HP JetDirect Port and click OK.
12. The HP JetDirect Port Wizard will now start. Use either the “Easy Setup” or “Custom
Setup” to specify the IP address or IPX/SPX address.
