Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help.

I am attempting to connect my HP Laserjet 2840 Printer to my Netgear
MR314 router and am not having much luck.

My current setup is ..

Laptop Windows XP Professional which is wireless to the MR314 router
for ADSL internet access.
I have 'hard wired' the printer by plugging the ethernet connection
from the printer into Port 1 of the MR314 router.

I would have thought that when I then tried to print from the laptop,
the printer would be found plugged into the router and everthing would
work.

Am I trying to be too ambitious?  Am I being some basic steps...?

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.  thanks jeff.

 Manual

To configure a network port-connected device configuration (direct
mode or peer-to-peer printing)
In this configuration, the device is connected directly to the network,
and all computers on the network print directly to the device.
Note This mode is the recommended network configuration for the device.
1. Connect the device directly to the network by inserting a network
cable into the device network port.
2. At the device, use the control panel to print a Configuration page.
See Configuration page.
3. Insert the device CD-ROM into your computer. If you have already set
up your device, click Install Software to start the software installer.
If the software installer does not start, navigate to the hpsetup.exe
file on the CD-ROM and double-click the file.
4. Click Install HP Color LaserJet Software.
5. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
6. On the Installer updates screen, click Yes to search for installer
updates on the Web.
7. For Windows 2000, on the Installation Options screen, choose the
installation option.
Hewlett-Packard recommends a typical installation, if your system
supports it.
8. On the License Agreement screen, read the license agreement, indicate
that you accept the terms, and then click Next.
9. For Windows 2000, on the HP Extended Capabilities screen, choose
whether you want extended capabilities, and then click Next.
10. On the Destination Folder screen, choose the destination folder, and
then click Next.
11. On the Ready to Install screen, click Next to begin installation.
Note If you want to change your settings, instead of clicking Next,
click Back to return to previous screens, and then change the settings.
12. On the Connection Type screen, select Through the network, and then
click Next.
13. On the Identify Printer screen, identify the device either by
searching or by specifying a hardware or IP address, which is listed on
the Configuration page you printed earlier. In most cases an IP address
is assigned, but you can change it if you want by clicking
Specify the printer by Address on the Identify Printer screen. Click Next.
14. Allow the installation process to complete.
