Windows 2000 and Windows XP: Raw Socket Printing (Standard TCP/IP Port)

so you can easily see how you have configured the printer definition. The name has no effect on what the system does, but can be a great help in your administration.

4Windows has no special knowledge of our print server. When asked for additional information about the device types, choose “Standard: Generic Network Card”. Its default settings are SNMP activated with the “Raw/Port 9100" protocol.

Note: At this point in your setup, you cannot change the port number value from 9100; we will return to this issue below on page 26.

5After a bit of a wait, you will be returned to the Add Printer Wizard, where you will indicate the manufacturer and type of printer. You may have to take a detour to fetch a type not already available on the list.

6If you already have a printer definition for this printer type, you will be asked whether or not you want to keep the existing driver. We advise your doing so.

Note: Should you want to use a new driver or make other adjustments to the printer definition, wait until you are finished with the “Add Printer” procedure described here. Choose Settings > Printer, right- click on the new printer you have defined, and choose “Properties”. There are six tabs full of settings you can change.

7You will be asked to “Name Your Printer.” If you have several different “printer” definitions for the same physical printer in your network, choose a name which will help to keep track of them. On the same window you will be asked whether or not you want the printer to be default for your PC/work station.

8Decide whether or not to share the printer. Click Next. The rest of the instructions here assume that you do not share the printer.

9Decide whether or not you want a test page printed. Click Next. The test page will not print until after the next step is completed.
