Direct Socket Printing

Within TCP/IP environments, there are some setups which require
the host to print directly to a TCP port number on the Ethernet
Interface, bypassing all of the higher level destination/queue
names. If you run into a setup which requires this, you will need to
define two parameters for a new print setup:
1. Ethernet Interface IP address. The IP address or host name
of the print server to which you want to print.
2. Ethernet Interface TCP port number. A pre-defined number
for the I/O port on the print server. 9100 is the default port
number.
Though the host will be sending directly to a TCP port number on
the Ethernet Interface, the port numbers are still mapped to
destinations/queues in case there is some type of special
processing or logging to be done to the job. However, the
destination name is of no concern in this type of printer definition.
Only the two parameters mentioned above need to be defined for
printing to work.
