2. Select the new port (WAN (InterNet Printer) in the example) as the port for this

If you do not have the correct printer driver, or you wish to create another printer
using an existing driver, use the Windows Add Printer facility.
•
Using the Windows Port Settings or Configure Port facility will reveal the same
Configure Port screen shown in Figure 2 InterNet Printer Port on page 40.
•
If you wish to print to multiple Internet Printers, use the Windows Add Port
facility to add a new InterNet Printer port. Ensure that the correct data is entered
in each port, and that each port has a unique name.
6.2.3.3. Checking the printer driver
You can use the InterNet Printing Port to send an e-mail to the Internet Printer. This lets
you make sure that the correct printer driver for the remote printer is installed on your
system.
1. Connect your default printer to the InterNet Printing Port.
2. Check that “Reply Notification Mail” in the InterNet Printing Port is ON.
3. Use Notepad or any other text editor to create a short message (such as “This is a test
print”).
4. Follow the steps in the next section to print the document to the Internet Printer.
You will receive a reply e-mail containing the “Printer ID” which will identify the
printer attached to the FastPrint. If this does not match the printer driver you are
using, install the correct printer driver.
6.2.4. Printing
1. Create or open the document you wish to print.
2. Select the Printer connected to the InterNet Printing Port.
3. If you do not have a permanent Internet connection, establish a connection now.
Note: The InterNet Printing Port will not establish a dial-up connection.
However, it will send the e-mail the next time you are connected.
4. Print the document.
5. The InterNet Printing Port will generate an e-mail and send it to the remote printer.
The document will be encoded and sent as an attachment to the e-mail. You will see
a progress screen similar to the example below:
