Changing a Standard TCP/IP Port
You can change the printer port used by a device connected to a network to a standard TCP/IP port after installing the driver. The following procedure describes how to set a standard TCP/IP port when using the LPR or Raw protocol.
IMPORTANT

Be sure to log on as a member of Administrators when you start the computer.

NOTE
|
LPR is the protocol commonly used for TCP/IP.
Raw is a protocol that can be used with Windows. It transmits data at a higher speed than LPR.
