Not only must you know the IP address of the print server (which I thnk you do), but you must also know the name of the printer (a.k.a. queue name) that is attached to the print server. That is because print servers can have more than 1 parallel port, so, obviously, can serve more than 1 printer. Each of these printers must have an associated queue name. I easily used printtool 3.40 (which came with Mdk6.0) to set up my HP L-J 1100 (using the L-J 4 driver), once I knew the the IP addr & queue name.
