Direct Socket Printing

Within TCP/IP environments, there are some setups which require the host to print directly to a TCP port number on the NIC, bypassing all of the higher level destination/queue names. If you run into a setup which requires this, you will need to define two parameters for a new print setup:

1.NIC IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server to which you want to print.

2.NIC TCP port number. A pre-defined number for the I/O port on the print server. 9100 is the default port number.

Though the host will be sending directly to a TCP port number on the NIC, the port numbers are still mapped to destinations/queues in case there is some type of special processing or logging to be done to the job. However, the destination name is of no concern in this type of printer definition. Only the two parameters mentioned above need to be defined for printing to work.
