Solution
If you changed the IP address or name of the printer (the DNS name to be registered on the DNS server), you need to change the port to be used.
If you are using Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 and are using Standard TCP/IP Port, change the port to be used using the following procedure.
IMPORTANT
- Standard TCP/IP Port is usable only with LBP5100/3310.
- If you are using Windows Vista, you cannot use Standard TCP/IP Port to be created here. See the following and perform "Auto Setup" after uninstalling the printer driver.
NOTE
The screenshots used in this section are from Windows XP Professional with which LBP5100 is being used.
1. Display the [Printers and Faxes] folder or the [Printers] folder.
From the [Start] menu, select [Settings] > [Printers].
From the [Start] menu, select [Printers and Faxes].
From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel], and then click [Printers and Other Hardware] > [Printers and Faxes].
2. Right-click the icon for your printer, then select [Properties] from the pop-up menu.
3. Display the [Ports] sheet (1), then click [Add Port] (2).

6. Enter a new IP address or name of the printer (the DNS name to be registered on the DNS server (up to 78 characters)) in [Printer Name or IP Address] (1), and then click [Next] (2).
Depending on the method for setting the IP address of the printer, the value to be entered varies. For more details, see "Settings for Adding a Port" in "Chapter 5 Appendix" in Network Guide in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer or ask your network administrator.

If the following screen appears, search for the printer following the instructions on the screen, or from [Device Type] select [Standard] > [Canon Network Printing Device with P9100] (1), and then click [Next] (2).
7. Click [Finish].
