3.After clicking Next in the first dialog, the Wizard asks you to select between Local Printer and Network Printer. You must select Local Printer as the print server emulates a local printer port. Click Next.

It is only necessary to perform steps 5- 6 if your printer does not feature in the model list.

7.Select the Printers@TCP/IP Port and click Next.
8.Enter an appropriate name for your printer and choose whether you want it to be the default printer. Click Next.
9.In the next window, do not order a Test Page to be written, just click Finish.
