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:

\Windows\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS

\WINDOWS is the directory for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 or Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2.

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.
