Trying to get a HP4 laserjet with internal jet direct card to work on
a small network of 1 printer and 2 PCs. Ethernet 10/100 network via
CAT5 cable. Using Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall FVS318 as network
switch. The two PCs CAN see each other and successfully shared a
directory from one PC to the other. The switch provides DHCP services
and both PCs and the printer jet direct card obtain their IP from that
- 192.168.0.x Mask set to 255.255.255.0 for all IP devices.

Cannot browse to Printer setup. Cannot get the HP installation
utility (HP install network printer wizard) to find the printer.
Tried using IP address, HW address and Host name. All were taken from
self test listing printed by the printer.

Suggestions?
