5.2.4 Manually Adding Printers for IP Peer-to-Peer Printing
You can add printers manually whenever the program cannot find printers automatically
because of the router setup or hop count setting. In general, this should not be necessary.
Using IP-P2P to Add Printers to the port list:
1.
Choose
Start
->
IP-P2P
->
IP-P2P
.
The IP Peer-to-Peer Setup screen appears.
2.
Click
Printers
.
3.
Enter information for the printer in all the following fields:
—
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the printer you want to add.
Add Lets you manually add a printer to the Available Printers list by
entering information in the fields to the left of the button. This
bypasses the Find Printers function. The port is not checked to
see if it is actually available on the network.
Delete Deletes the highlighted printers from the Available Printers
list. Printers deleted this way no longer appear in the Windows
Port List. 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.
Find Printers Searches the network for printers. The default method for
displaying the list of printers is by IP Address.
Clear Clears the Available Printers list. This does not clear any
printer marked with the Permanent flag (P).
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.
Permanent Flags the highlighted printers with a P. These printers remain
in the Available Printers list even if the printers are physically
removed from the network or you click
Clear
.
