Cannot locate printer
I am trying to setup my LaserJet 5000n under Windows ME. I
am connected to the internet via a Router and Cable Modem. I turned off all firewall protection for the install. When I select the "Add Printer" option it cannot locate the driver (already downloaded) or the printer. I ended up manually installing the hp LaserJet 5000 PCL 5e driver package ("lj523")using the "Run" command. I can see the driver now in the "Properties" but it is in offline mode since it still cannot locate the printer itself. When I click on My Network, I can see my computer but there is no printer listed. I can however type in the IP address for the printer in the Internet Explorer Window and I can see the admin/control panel. I am not sure if the problem lies in how I add the printer or a Windows problem. Help!!! |

Cannot locate printer
Windows 98/Me do not support printing directly to a TCP/IP printer. Check
your HP CD for their TCP/IP Network Printing Wizard software and use it. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
