Changing Network Printer Ports
When you set up a new network printer, the ZoneAlarm router automatically assigns a port
number to the printer. If you want to use a different port number, you can easily change it,
as described in Setting Up Network Printers on page
368.
However, you may sometimes need to change the port number after completing printer
setup. For example, you may want to replace a malfunctioning network printer, with
another existing network printer, without reconfiguring the client computers. To do this,
you must change the replacement printer's port number to the malfunctioning printer's port
number, as described below.
