   I have a network print server and I want my Windows 98 machine to   
   print to this directly.   
      
   Under Windows XP, I can do this.   
      
   Under Windows XP, the following settings are showing for the printer:   
      
   Port: PS1   
   Description: Standard TCP/IP Port   
   Printer: HP Laserjet 4   
      
   Protocol: RAW   
   Port Number: 9100   
      
   I do not appear to have the facility to print to a standard TCP/IP   
   port on Windows 98.   
      
   Is there a patch or some free software that I can apply to Windows '98   
   to allow me to print to a standard TCP/IP port.   
      
   There is a patch to print to an LPR port, but this doesn't seem to   
   work.   
      
   I suspect that my print server does not support the LPR protocol.   
      
   (I am using a DLINK DP100 Print Server, which connects into the   
   network hub and provides two parallel printer ports).   
      
   I do not wish to use IPX to work around this. I just want windows to   
   print to a Standard TCP/IP port, as XP does.   
      
   Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this
