| 550677 | 2007-05-17 09:23:00 | I am trying to connect an XP Home computer directly to a printer with a network card. Can I just link th etwo with a network cable and install? When I try this I get the message that no network cable is installed. What do I have to do? |

| 550678 | 2007-05-17 09:31:00 | Just share the printer in printers. Leave the name as is, then add the printer on the other PC, type in the name of the printer. ie: PC\printer name. Thats it. |

| 550681 | 2007-05-17 12:10:00 | I think the issue is about a crossover cable. So is that correct that if a hub is inbetween then the cables are straight through? | bpt2 (6653) | ||

When I try this I get the message that no network cable is installed. What do I have to do? if you really want to do this use a crossover cable at the moment you are using a normal utp cable the tx and rx pairs are matched(tx to tx, rx to rx)with a crossover tx matches to rx and vise versa. then youve got the problem of finding the ip the printer is using Much easier (for this setup) to go with speedies suggestion |

| 550684 | 2007-05-19 07:46:00 | I still can't find the printer. It uses a JetDirect 600N Network card. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 550685 | 2007-05-19 07:53:00 | Go to the HP site and look up the printer /card and see how u configure it. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 550686 | 2007-05-19 08:19:00 | press the power and paper feed button (with the printer turned on) thats the normal one for hps for a configuration page that should give ip information then type ip that into your browser and if your lucky a web admin page for the printer will appear |
