I want to use a different Port number other than 631. 10
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If
this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data
through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when
configuring your Windows

Web Based Management (web browser) troubleshooting (TCP/IP) 10
a If you cannot connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy
Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the
print server. This will stop your computer from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time
you wish to look at the print server.
