How to View Network Information

When the printer and PC using the XPS Card Printer Driver are connected using
a network, the network settings on the PC and the printer must match.
The driver Printer Properties dialog includes the Ports tab for specifying or
viewing the printer IP Address being used. See the "Port Type" section of "How
to View Printer Status" to view the setting.
If the printer is set to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the IP
address of the printer can change when the printer is powered off and then
powered on. The XPS Card Printer Driver will issue message 500.
To check the IP address that the printer is using, see "How to Get the Printer
Network IP Address". If the printer IP Address changes often, using Static IP
addressing might provide a more reliable connection. Work with your network
support group to identify the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address (if
used). Then, see "How to Set Static IP Address Type".
