Follow these steps if the printer driver is already installed.
1.Click on Start then select Settings/Printers to display the currently installed printer drivers.
2.Double click the printer driver you wish to configure and select Printer menu and then choose Properties.
3.Select the Ports tab and click on Add Port.
4.Select LPR Port (LPR Port will not be displayed unless you install the "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" protocol as described earlier) from the list of available ports and click on New Port.
5.Type in the IP address that you assigned to the Print / Fax server in the Name or address of server providing lpd: box. If you have edited your HOSTS file or are using Domain Name System, you can enter the name associated with the Print / Fax server, instead of an IP address. As the Print / Fax server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of the Print / Fax server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your print configuration sheet. From default the NetBIOS name will usually appear as "BRN_xxxxxx" where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
6.Type in the Print / Fax server service name in the Name of printer or print queue on that server: box. If you do not know which service name to use, enter BINARY_P1 and then click on OK:
