Changing Printer Port Assignment

To change the port assigned to a printer, follow these steps:

1.

Open the Printers control panel.

2.

Right-click on the icon for the printer you want to change.

3.

Select the Properties option from the menu. The Properties window
is displayed.

4.

Click the Ports tab.

Note: The Properties window also gives you access to printer test

and setup options that can be very helpful when debugging
a serial printer installation.

5.

Check the port you want to switch to. Remember to change your
cabling accordingly.

Note: The Configure button on the Ports tab does not recognize

Comtrol ports. This is a limitation of Windows NT. If you
need to reconfigure the port, use the Ports option on the
Control Panel.

6.

Click on the OK button. Any changes you make take effect
immediately. No reboot is needed.
