John;

After banging my head against the wall with a similar situation, I
realized that I needed a Windows 95 LPR (TCP/IP) printing software. This is
exactly what you need. It will not put the network printer in the Network
Neighborhood, but it will allow you to print directly to the printer, or the
print server spool via TCP/IP. I have found what I believe is the best
Windows 95 LPR printer software available. It is the ACITS LPR Remote
Printing software version 4.0. The install is simple, it has an easy to
read setup manual that walks you step by step to configure and use your
printer. It is simple to setup and it is transparent when configured. The
URL for the software is <http://shadowland.cc.utexas.edu/acitslpr.htm>.
