Add the IP address and host name of the network printer to the hosts file on the computer used for printing.

1Open the hosts file using Memo Pad or other applications.

The hosts file is in the following folder:

\WINNT is the directory of the installation destination for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2. \WINDOWS is the directory for Windows XP/ Vista or Windows Server 2008.

2Add an IP address and a host name to the hosts file in the following format:

192.168.15.16  host  # NP

“192.168.15.16” is the IP address, “host” is the printer's host name, and “#” to the end are comments. Separate each item with a space or tab, and use only one line.

3Save the file.
