printer on network
I am trying to install my printer over my home network. A windows just popped up asking me "please enter the filesystem device node for the printer. Device node: ?"
As an example they give "/dev/parportx", x=0,1,2,...)
What the heck am I suppose to enter? The printer is an HP housed on an XP machine. I am using FC5 as an OS. I appreciate an help.

I have a window which popped up during the install called "select from discovered devices" The wizard was unable to find it by itself so I selected find manually. Another window popped up saying enter in name or IP address of network printer. I tried both and neither worked. Why is that and what do I need to do to get around this issue please?

I can ping both machines from each other so that's not an issue.
