How to View Network Information
When the printer and PC using the XPS Card Printer Driver are connected using a network, the
network settings on the PC and the printer must match.
The driver Printer Properties dialog includes the Ports tab for specifying or viewing the printer IP
Address being used. See
How to View the Network Port of the Driver to view the setting.
If the printer is set to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), the IP address of the
printer can change when the printer is powered off and then powered on. The XPS Card Printer
Driver will issue message 500.
To check the IP address that the printer is using, see
How to Get the Printer Network IP Address.
If the printer IP Address changes often, using Static IP addressing might a more reliable
connection. Work with your network support group to identify the IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway Address (if used). Then, see
How to Set up Static IP Addressing.
