You can not assign it "an internal network address". The HP 660C does not offer an option for ip assignment. It is what it is according to whatever computer it is connected to. > MCC gave a default port of 9100 which didn't work. What kind of printing protocol were you trying to use in conjunction with port 9100? If you are bound and determined to *not* use samba (why you would be against samba makes no sense to me. It would make sharing that printer a cake walk but hell that is just my take on it), about the only option left to you, excepting the purchase of a hardware print server, is IPP, and I have found more times than not that windoze does not play nicely with IPP.
