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

10The final window will be presented. Click “Finish”.

11If you have chosen to print a test page in Step 9, you will be presented with a window explaining what is going on. If the printout is ok, click OK. If you should need to choose Troubleshoot, follow the on-line help instructions.

What if you want the printer definition to use a different port value from 9100?

Choose Settings > Printer, right-click on the new printer you have defined, and choose “Properties”.

1Select the Ports tab.

2Highlight the line for the port and printer you have already marked for this printer and click “Configure Port”.

3This will bring up a “Port Settings” Window. Change what is entered in the Port Number field (in the “Raw Settings” block), for example to 29100 (a setting which must also exist in the print server). This explains the logic in the naming example given above in the note to step 7, page 25.

Note that you cannot change the port name. You can change the IP address, but doing so will create a mismatch to the information in the print server, so don’t!

4Complete the “Port Settings” by clicking OK.

Tip: It is possible to use the Intermate “Port 9100" Print Port instead of the Windows native protocol. This has the advantage that you can designate a port other than 9100 without having to go back and re- configure. Just follow the instructions in “Internet Print Protocol” [page 30], but choose “Port 9100" instead of “LPR” in step 3. The “Port Name” generated will look something like this:

IMA_192.168.0.227:9100

and if you, for example, designate port 29100, the name gen- erated will look like this:

IMA_192.168.0.227:29100
