jeremyschubert jeremyschubert Getting the hang of it Registered: 2005-09-17 Posts: 89	Hi Guys, I've downloaded the AddPrinter function by Allen Powell (Al_Po). It sets up printers by lpr, share, com port etc. Can someone please tell me if it creates the ip port first and then connects the printer to it? Or do I have to use another function to create the port first? Thanks, Jeremy _________________________ --- Bishop Grandin Technology Department 'Either we're on time, or we're late'

I always thought that an ip port was basically the same thing. Jeremy _________________________ --- Bishop Grandin Technology Department 'Either we're on time, or we're late'

I've only had minor exposure to it, so I really don't know all the particulars, and like I said, never tested it with the Addprinter UDF. As far as I know, the HP JetDirects (and most newer print servers) all use the RAW protocol based IP.
