2.  Select File and then chose Properties 
3.  Click the Ports tab of the driver and click “Add Port” 
4.  Select the port that you wish to use, typically this would be “Standard 

TCP/IP Port”, then click the “New Port…” button. 

5.  The standard TCP/IP Port Wizard will start. Follow steps 6-10 of the

If you did not install the TCP/IP protocol or the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing 
protocol during the installation of your Windows NT 4.0 system (either 
workstation or server) follow these steps. Please note that it is essential that you 
install the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing protocol if you wish to print over the 
network using the TCP/IP protocol. If you have already installed the TCP/IP 
protocol and Printing protocol proceed to step 2.

TCP/IP Printing.

5.  Click on the Protocols tab when then copying is finished. 
6.  Double click on the TCP/IP Protocol option and add the host IP address, 

subnet mask, and gateway address.  Consult your system manager for
