Hello Wendell,

With the present configuration of your system, I fear you cannot connect
your printer (Or any printer, for that matter) directly to the system.
You will need to connect the printer thru the DTC, or alternatively, put
the printer on the Lan by using a JetDirect card (or equivalent), and
then configure this network printer on your HP3K (using the npconfig
file). If you need more info regarding this, please write to me.

Have a great day!

Vivek
