>>1. If you're running IPX/SPX you probably have one or more Novell servers on your network. You could create a print queue on the server, then use the HP software to configure the appropriate port on the print server to service the queue. To print from W2K, simply print to the Novell queue.

You can then create either a TCP/IP printer port on your W2K box or use the Unix-style LPD protocol; in each case specify the IP address/port combination you want to attach to on the print server.

Through the same software you used to set up the print server to work on your Novell network.
Regards. Al
