Does anyone know how to just add the HP Standard TCP/IP Port?

does anyone know how to just add the HP Standard TCP/IP Port?  I do not want to install all the HP software, just the port.

HP give this solution: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-bpp03923

but I don't know where to find the link to download a designjet CD-ROM to run the IS_Setup utility on windows server 2003, to create a HP Standard TCP/IP port. I am migrating a print server, and 10+ of the printers are failing due to no HP port.  I need to install the port so the legacy printers will work.

Help Me, thanks.

Hi,

You would need a driver first, then point to its INF file.

Which printer models, which operating system?

You may also use Standard TCP/IP Port which exists on any server by default.

To guide you further, please provide some minimal information as above..

Hi, thanks for replay

I have several server with windows server 2003 32bit. I have always used Standard TCP/IP port but now I am migrating a print server, and 10+ of the printers are failing due to no HP port.  

I need to install the HP port so the legacy printers (HP 3005 and HP 3015 with 32/64 bit drivers) will work, in one of the server with HP Standard TCP/IP port, it is OK, but I do not remember how I have installed that Port. HP give a solution running a utility :

SOLUTION: Create the HP Standard TCP/IP port using the CD shipped with the printer or by downloading from the web. Follow the appropriate instructions below:

NOTE: While installing the driver, create the HP TCP IP port. If the option does not show up then the Standard TCP IP port can be selected. At the end of the installation if for any reason the port does not respond properly, then a new port can be created under the driver properties. Once the driver has been installed, the option for the HP TCP IP Port will show up.

But I do not find the CD or the site to download this utility.
