Setting up a printer using TCP/IP in Windows98

[Aaron Heiner]

I have a printer that is attachedto machines using a
standard TCP/IP port. When I go try to install this
printer on a windows98 machine, I don't get the option to
add a TCP/IP port. Does anyone know how to get or setup
this port?

The printer manufacturer should be able to supply the utility that Windows
98 requires in order to access a printer using TCP/IP.

I am trying to do the same thing an am having problems.
You first have to add a port and assign the name as the
IP address. After that you should be able to set it up.
But,when I try to setup a port, I get a message that
says "no configuration is needed." Meanwhile my other
WIN98 machine has other options available in the printer
detail windows. I think my version of WIN 98 is
incomplete. Please post your answers. Good luck.
