Step 3: Click on Create a new port, select Type of port of Standard TCP/IP Port and click “Next.”
Step 4: Enter Hostname or IP address of printer. Port Name will be assigned automatically. If multiple printers are set up at the same IP address, Port Name will automatically include a sequence number to make it unique. Click “Next” to continue.
Step 5: Select the print driver and click “Next.”
Step 6: If the printer driver already exists, the version dialog will appear. Select “Use the driver that is currently installed” and click “Next.”
