Choose Local printer... unless a shared network printer is to be installed on a print
server.
Use the Windows Add Printer Wizard to create a printer instance to communicate
to the printer at the new IP address.
If the printer port is not listed as an existing port then a new Card Printer TCP/iP
Port must be created and configured to communicate to the printer at the proper
IP address.
See the appropriate Windows documentation for additional help.
