You Don't Know How to Configure Printer Ports
You can use the following procedure to configure printer ports.
Printing errors can occur when the IP address of the machine has been changed, or when a printer has been added via the Windows printer folder. These errors are typically caused by incorrect printer port settings. For example, an incorrect port number or port type may have been specified. In such situations, your attempt to print fails because the document data cannot reach the machine. To fix this type of problem, configure the printer port settings on the computer.
IMPORTANT
To perform the following procedure, log in to your computer with an administrator account.

Right-click the driver icon for this machine, and click [Printer properties] or [Properties].

Select [Standard TCP/IP Port] in [Available port types] and click [New Port].

Under [Protocol], select [Raw] or [LPR].
If you selected [LPR], enter "lp" in [Queue Name].
