Using the LPR port
This describes how to install the PCL printer driver using the LPR port.
Manage Printers permission is required to install the driver. Log on as an Administrators or Power Users group member.
In an IPv6 environment, you cannot use the Standard TCP/IP Port. Use the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client port.
