Direct Socket Printing
Within TCP/IP environments, there are some setups which require the
host to print directly to a TCP port number on the PrintNet, bypassing all
of the higher level destination/queue names. If you run into a setup which
requires this, you will need to define two parameters for a new print setup:
1. PrintNet IP address. The IP address or host name of the print server
you want to print to.
2. PrintNet TCP port number. A pre-defined number for the I/O port on
the print server. 9100 is the default port number.
