There is a fantastic feature in Windows 2000 where u can set an IP on a jet direct box on a HP Printer and then print directly to it without the need to create a queue on Netware or NT Server, which we use here in the University to manager our printing needs. To do this all u do is add the Std. TCP / IP port after the drivers for the printer have been installed locally, this port replaces the std. lpt port. The std. TCP / IP port is NOT available in NT 4 or Win 9x as far as i can see and i haven't found any ref to it on support.microsoft.com or hp.com. It would be great if i could add this ability to 9x and NT 4 so i could avoid having to wait for printer queues to be setup on the Novell Netware server. Any suggestions?

Use the jetdirects SW, it should do it automatically.

On NT4, IIRC, TCP/IP printing is an optional component. Install it from the network control panel and service pack again.
