Hi Dean, Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds like you are giving directions to run the printer on the network THROUGH a local connection to a computer on the network--a thin client in this case. This gets me back to one of my main confusions--there is lots of documentation that says you have to set up your printer this way, locally connected to the server or to a client on the LAN. Other info (fewer pages I've found) tells how to connect the printer to the LAN directly (through a switch). I want to connect this old HP 8000 directly to the LAN, not through another computer. Has anyone else had this issue?
