In another thread, I mentioned a friend gave me a printer. Here is a picture of the HP LaserJet 2100TN hooked up at my house:
The friend had it on AppleTalk (Macintosh), but I'm Windows and Linux (XP and Ubuntu).
I plugged the printer into the router by the ethernet cable, and rebooted. Nothing happened on the WinXP PC connected to the same router by ethernet cable. Nothing happened on the Ubuntu laptop connected wirelessly by the same cable. Nor on the Android phone.
Probably I need drivers, but, when I went to the HP support page, they had tons of drivers. But which one is the one needed to enable the WinXP PC (and the other PCs connected wirelessly to the router) to see the printer?
Which of those drivers will make the ethernet work?
- hp LaserJet 2100 PCL 5e Printer Driver
- hp LaserJet 2100 PCL 6 Printer Driver
- hp LaserJet 2100 PCL 5e point and print bundles
- hp LaserJet 2100 PCL 6 point and print bundles
- 3 - HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5
- HP Printer Administrator Resource Kit
Or is there another trick to making the printer show up to Windows XP? (The workgroup is "HOME" for the WinXP PC.)
