Configuring 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 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.

To perform the following procedure, log in to your computer with an administrator account. |

Adding a port
If you have changed the IP address of the machine or you have selected an incorrect port while installing drivers, add a new port.

2 | Select [Standard TCP/IP Port] in [Available port types] and click [New Port]. |
3 | Click [Next]. |

Changing the port type
If the printing protocol (LPD or RAW) has been changed on the machine side or the port number has been changed, the corresponding settings on the computer must also be configured. This operation is not needed for WSD ports.
1 | Click [Configure Port]. |
2 | Under [Protocol], select [Raw] or [LPR]. If you selected [Raw], change the [Port Number]. If you selected [LPR], enter "lp" in [Queue Name]. |
3 | Click [OK]. |
To set the printing protocol to IPP or IPPS, you must specify the port for IPP before installing the printer driver. Enabling IPP/IPPS
