About the different methods
Windows standard TCP/IP port
The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP
protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to
print.
Can be configured to use either LPR or RAW (e.g. Port9100).

LPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS and PRN files directly to your
printer and automatically redirect jobs to other printers on the network.
