How to install HP Color LaserJet 4600 Networked to Windows 7 (64 bits) ?

Question

I am running windows 7 64 bit trying to connect to a HP color laser jet 4600. We have tried multiple times to get a Notebook to load the driver. Everything works and asks to print a test page. When you press print test page nothing happens and nothing will print. 
  This is a working printer. It is presently hooked to a network and it works from it. I am trying to make it work from my notebook. I am using a ethernet cable wired directly to the Jetdirict card. 
  Do I need to set up a network. I know the IP of the printer and can not access it from the Notebook.

This should work for you.  I've installed several printers using a Jet Direct this way:
Install the printer manually.  Go into Devices and Printers -> Click "Add a printer" then select "add a local printer" and select the option for "Create a new port - Standard TCP/IP Port" and click next.  Type the IP address of the printer into the Hostname/IP Address field then click "next" -  Choose Hewlett Packard Jet Direct from the Standard drop down menu then click next.  You will need to select your printer model/driver from the list and then click next.
