Installing Using a WSD Port
This explains the procedure for searching for devices on a network from Windows using a WSD (Web Services on Devices) port and installing the driver.
You cannot install multiple drivers in the computer you want to install a driver in using a WSD port. If you are installing a new driver, do so after first uninstalling the drivers. If you want to install multiple drivers, share a standard TCP/IP port.
Prerequisites
Page Description Language selection (Plug & Play) function settings of the device
Set [PDL Selection (Plug and Play)] at the device to match the driver you are using. For details about the setting method, refer to the manual of the device.
Specify a temporary port ([LPT1] etc.) and install the driver.
