    How do I go about setting up my HP Laserjet 4050N as a network attached printer?  It is using the jetdirect card and can print o.k. from my win 7 PC.  When I look for it on the console it can't resolve the printer name or find any network printers.  What am I missing?

    Thanks and Merry Xmas to all,

    What do you refer to as console? The WHS console? This doesn't include or support printer handling.
    If the desktop, you will need to add a TCP/IP printer port pointing to the print server, before you can refer the printer driver to it.

    I take it from what I have googled, the jetdirect card is lets you attach the printer to a ethernet cable and to your network. have you got all the relevant Server 2003 drivers installed on your Windows Home Server?
