Ethernet connection between PC and LaserWriter

Asked by jonls in Printers

Tags: laserwriter, 630

I'm trying to connect a LaserWriter 630 with a Windows XP (Home Edition) PC via ethernet. The PC's internal ethernet port is connected to a cable modem. I installed an ethernet PCI card for the sole purpose of connecting to the printer. I have an ethernet adaptor on the LaserWriter to connect to an RJ-45 cable. When printer and PC are connected, the status port status lights are Green, and the PC reports the ethernet card is "Enabled".
Now, how do I get the two to talk to each other?
To add a printer, you have select either Local or Networked. I would for this configuration its a Local printer. But there's no pre-defined port (COMn, LTPn, USBn) in this case. So I select "Add Port". Now it asks for a port name and number. What do I use? Won't I also need an IP address for the printer, which I don't know? The LaserWrite manual is oriented for Mac users and is very vague on the PC setup.
Any help appreciated.
jon.
