[Kamm, William R (Bill), ALABS]

Here is how I set mine up on my home network:

1. Assign the printer an IP address.  For example, 192.168.1.___.  I
can't help you with this, you need to look that up in the manual.

2. Click Start --> Settings --> Printers and Faxes, then Add Printer.

3. Click Next on the first wizard page.

4. This is where Microsoft screwed up.  DON'T click the "Network
printer" radio button.  Instead, click "Local printer attached to this
computer".  Yeah, it makes no sense at all, but it works.  Uncheck the
"Automatically detect" checkbox, and click Next.

5. Select the "Create a new port" radio button, and select "Standard
TCP/IP Port" from the dropdown list.  Click Next.

6. As the next screen says, make sure the printer is powered on and is
on the network.  Click Next.

7. Type in the IP address, and the port name will be automatically
filled in.  Click Next.

8. After that, just follow the prompts to find your printer from the
list, assign it a name, and print a test page.

It's attached via RJ45 Ethernet.  And the company is getting someone 
else to do it apparently at this point.  I had it working last night 
whereby I was able to add them to the network workgroup (rather, re-add 
them) and then was able to print; somehow, they can't print anymore.
