My printer uses a print server, and thus has its own IP
address. How do I get XP to see the printer? Where/how
do I enter the IP address?

Thanks for any help,

Shawn

Some print servers come with a utility program that you install on
your computer to create a new port. Then, you configure the printer's
properties to print to that port. Check your print server's
documentation.

Some print servers work as a "Standard TCP/IP port". Run XP's "Help
and Support" program and search for "Standard TCP/IP port". It will
show you how to set it up.
