 * From Hewlett-Packard. Contact HP for the appropriate software drivers.
 * In Windows NT Service Pack 2.



MORE INFORMATION
Windows NT Server 4.0 provides support for HP JetDirect cards using the IPX/SPX protocol with the File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) service.

Windows NT does support connecting to HP JetDirect cards using the TCP/IP protocol with the LPR Print Monitor. This is part of the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Services. You can add this service on the Services tab in Network properties.
