On the Printer Port dialog box, click New TCP/IP Port and then click Next to open the Specify TCP/
IP Port dialog box. The Specify TCP/IP Port dialog box includes all custom network ports that are
available on the local system. To use any custom network port for the customized installer, the port must
be created identically on the system where it will be used.

Click IP Address: to make the field available for typing the TCP/IP address for the printer. Only numerals
are allowed in this field. If this option is selected, you must type at least one digit in the IP Address:
field to prevent an error message from appearing and prompting you for a valid IP address.
Click IP Hostname: to make the field available for typing the IP hostname for the printer. Any characters
are allowed in this field, but an error message appears if spaces are included in the field. If this option
is selected, you must type at least one character in the IP Hostname field to prevent an error message
from appearing and prompting you for a valid IP hostname.
Click Hardware Address: to make the field available for typing the hardware address of the printer. It
accepts any characters but limits the entry to 12 characters. If this option is selected, you must type at
least one character in the Hardware Address: field to prevent an error message from appearing,
prompting you for a valid hardware address.
After you select any the options, type the appropriate name or address, and then click Next, the
Drivers dialog box opens, as shown in the following figure.
For each of the foregoing options on the Specify TCP/IP Port dialog box, you can either use the default
port name (as specified in each of the three options) or specify a different name.
If you select Use Default and click Next, the Drivers dialog box opens. See
Figure 5-41 Driversdialog
box.
To specify a different name, select Specify and click Next to open the Port Creation Options dialog
box.
