Network Printer Setup

Step 1: From the Devices and Printers window, click Add a Printer.

Step 2: Click Add a Local Printer.

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.”

Step 7: Enter Printer Name. This name must match the printer’s name setup in the WithoutWire system. Click “Next.”

Step 8: Select “Share this printer so that others on your network can find and use it” and use the Share Name the same as the Printer Name. Click “Next.”

Step 9: “Set as the default printer” does not need to be selected (Optional). Click Print a test page to verify setup. After test page prints, click the Finish button.
