You aren't going to believe it, but the solution is to make it a local printer. Then choose create a tcp/ip port and plug the numbers in there. My linksys print server won't work unless I use their software to install.

My Linux boxes find it just fine, via: Device URI: lpd://192.168.1.80/PS-ADF419-P1 I'm trying to attach to it via a Win2K machine. Clicking on Add Printer and selecting "Connect to a printer on the Internet or your intranet" asks for the URL. I've tried a number of combinations, such as 192.168.1.80 192.168.1.80/PS-ADF419-P1 lpd://192.168.1.80/PS-ADF419-P1 Hey You! Yeah, you, the HP Printer in the basement! and none of these are accepted by the Wizard. Does anyone have a suggestion on the proper URL to use?
