1. Open the Networking Control Panel
2. Click on the "Services" tab.
3. Click on "Add." Pick "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing."
4. Rummage around for your Windows NT Workstation CD, and insert it
    when prompted.
5. Reboot, of course.
6. Add printer.
7. Call Compaq tech support. Ask for a supervisor. Give him
    identification number of incompetent "MCSEP certified" tech guy. >:}
