Have a network. Windows 2000 and XP can print to network printer (HP Laserjet with NIC- can only use IP address to connect). When I add a printer in 98/ME machines it says that the printer is offline. I only can put an IP not the sharename. It is a stand alone with a NIC.

Downloaded drivers and still ahve the same issue.

Any suggestions?

When using a printer with a NIC you probaly need secondary print software ie: jetdriect, mulitdirect print, or another network print software. Check the manuall that came with the NIC in the printer.
