Installing the user software for SPM printing

Standard Port Monitor (SPM) printing offers an alternative to LPR ports
when you want to send jobs to network printers over TCP/IP. SPM is
installed by default when TCP/IP is installed in Windows 2000.
SPM is more robust than LPR because it uses Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to read the configuration of the target
printer and determine its status. If SPM cannot configure the target
printer using SPM default TCP ports and SNMP, it uses the LPR
protocol, if this protocol is provided by the printer. However, the
installation will still be as an SPM port.
Unlike LPR, SPM uses port 9100 as the default destination port and
randomly selects any open source port greater than 1023 as the
source port.
Before you continue, print a configuration sheet at the printer to obtain
the IP address assigned to the DocuColor 2006, as well as the Subnet
mask and gateway address, if they are used.
1. Perform steps 1-17 of the procedure Installing the user software
