5.1.4 Adding Printers for IPX Peer-To-Peer Printing
You can add printers manually if the program cannot find printers automatically because
of router setup or hop count setting. In general, this should not be necessary.

IPX-P2P
->

Printers deleted this way no longer appear in the Windows Port
List when you are adding a printer. However, the printer is not
actually deleted from the network — it is only removed from the
list. You can put the printer back on the list by clicking
Find
Printers
, so long as the printer is still connected to the network.

the Available Printers list even if the printers are physically
removed from the network or you click

Find Printers Searches the network for printers and lists them by their Print
Server Name (defined in the printer). The default name is the
Network Interface Board serial number (six digits with a three-
letter prefix).
Select Flags the highlighted printers with an S. Only 30 printers can be
selected at one time. When the Windows Port List is displayed
during the process of adding or changing a printer, only selected
printers are listed.
