Default How do you configure a printer driver in Win98 to print to a network printer directly connected to LAN

I have a network printer installed on the LAN with it's own IP address. How
do I configure "Add Printer" wizard to connect to this printer from a Win98
PC ?

Yes I do, I found the Windows 98 drivers for the printer HP LJ3600dn.
Didn't come on the newer versions of the install CD, but found on Internet.
I tell Wizard where to find driver files and it is happy. That part I have
correct.

I don't think you can do this in the 'wizard' , instead add as a local
printer, then properties/details tab and use add port option.

You're going too fast for me. When I "Add A Printer" it automatically
starts the wizard.

What information do I enter configure into the Add Port ?

It is possible. Try some of the tricks described he

Did your printer manufacturer provide some software to support this
function?
