Printing with TCP/IP with HP Jet Direct
Do Windows 95 support TCP/IP printing with Jet Direct?
There is no server installed in the remote site, only a HP Jet direct installed and configured with appropiated IP address.
I can successfully print documents to the printer by Windows NT Workstation 4.0 by add an additional Jet Direct Port and point the IP address to the Jet Direct printer.
However, I cannot add the port in Windows 95 because there is no other port I can choose for configuration. I installed Jet Admin 2.53 in the Windows 95 machine but still cannot configure a port for TCP/IP printing.
Do anyone have idea about these?
Thanks,
Tony.

There are one HP Laserjet 5 and one HP Laserjet 4000. It is very strange that I can setup the port in a very very occasional chance, but the printers can always searched and displayed in JetAdmin printer list.
However, an error message "Unable to communicate with device. No response from the device" displayed if I tried to modify it or view it's properities.
But anyway, thanks for your help ddmorgan.
