Do you have *any* network connectivity? Can you use a web browser? Win9*
networking settings are in the Network Control Panel. Under the
Configuration tab you need "Client for Microsoft Networks", "TCP/IP", and
if you want to share files *from* the Win98 laptop, "File and Printer
sharing for Microsoft Networks". You also need to have your network adapter
listed there. Under the Identity tab you need a unique computer name (<15
characters) and the workgroup name set to match what the other computers on
the network are using. How TCP/IP is set up will depend upon the network.

To use the HP4000 you need HP JetAdmin Utilities installed. If it's not too
old it will add "Add HP JetDirect Printer" to its Programs sub-menu.
