We are configuring a new workstation with WinXP Pro to print over a
MicroSoft peer-to-peer network ethernet connection to an HP JetDirect
170 printer server on an HP DeskJect 855c inkject printer.  We
understand that the printer server uses IPX/SPX network protocol only;
however, it appears that WinXP Pro uses only TCP/IP native and a Novell
SPX/IPX as a supplemental protocol.  Can't seem to make the initial
connection using the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.  Any tips on how
we might proceed?  Must we go find an old Win98SE SPX/IPX protocol and
somehow install it?  Another frustrating upgrade moment.
