add a TCP/IP printing port with winME
Hello, I'am triing to connect a network printer to a PC running Win ME. I don't see the option to add a TCP/IP port, just after adding the printer on the local port. I did it successfully with Win 98 ans XP. My netcard has the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocol installed I hoped to get the option add TCP/IP port after the add of the IPX protocol, but no. I ping the printer IP , no problem I see the printer. The printer works well with other PCs on the intranet w95, w98, w2000, wXP, except wME Another point, I can't see the printer icon among the PCs icons of the net, explorer-network-all the net Have you any ideas how to add a TCP/IP printing port with winME ? Why can't I get this choice into the procedure ? I read that a TCP/IP port adding could be linked with DLC protocole. But I can't find any information concerning this protocol and how to add it. Thank you for helping -- twinley |

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your answer. I use the word Printer but it is correct . It's a copier NRG 3238. A huge thing that copy, fax, scan and print also Postscript. They call that a Total Document Solutions. Their site is pretty well documented, except for the installation under Win ME. Anyway, now I know what to ask to the support. I am sure to get the good answer thanks to your precisions. -- à+twinley "Mike M" a écrit dans le message de ... Regrettably Win Me contains no built-in networking printing client. If the printer is an HP printer then look on the HP site where you may find the necessary client (I run an HP4550 colour LaserJet off a JetDirect box on my LAN). Otherwise you will need to look on www.download.com or Google for a suitable client such as perhaps the Intelliscribe LPR Print Client (http://download.com.com/3000-2088-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP twinley twinleym(at)hotmail.com wrote: Hello, I'am triing to connect a network printer to a PC running Win ME.

Hi everyboby
I fix the problem. An additionnal soft declare the tcp/ip port with the righ IP. I can't see the lan icon printer, but it work fine. The additionnal soft is SmartDeviceMonitor, a proprietary specific soft for NRG printer. -- à+twinley "twinley" twinleym(at)hotmail.com a écrit dans le message de ...
