If the IP Address of the Machine Is Changed after Installing the Printer Driver
In Windows, the required action depends on the port you are using.
If you are using an MFNP port, the connection is maintained as long as the machine and computer belong to the same subnet, so no action is required on the computer.
If you are using a standard TCP/IP port, you must add a new port. Adding a Port
If you do not know which port is being used, see the following:
