Two Nic Cards -- #1 to Internet --- #2 to Printer?
I have two Nic cards. One is connected to my Internet cable modem to surf the net. It is set to the default discovery setting.
The second Nic card is for my HP 8500 printer which requires an Ethernet connection. I cannot use the USB choice.
I have proven both Nic cards can connect the Internet directly (one or the other), so the Nic cards work.
I have not been successful using Nic #1to the Internet and Nic #2 to the printer. The HP software was not successful doing this
Currently the printer is set to 192.168.1.12.
What do I need to do to make this work? What settings on Nic number 2 ??
I desire to avoid a router as the router cuts the internet speed in half. I have that option only if I must.

The router shouldn't cut your internet speed. Are you sure it really does?
To keep two separate NICs, set one for DHTP and hook it to the internet. Set the other NIC and the printer for a static IP and choose an IP (make the card and the printer different in the last number. 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.11 would work). Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
