Click Start, point to Settings, and then select Printers.

Right-click the target printer and click Properties.

Make the appropriate settings for the desired port.

LPR standard printing:
Select the LPR Printing check box and then the Standard Printing radio button. Print data is spooled by the computer before sending the print job to the target network printer.

LPR enhanced printing:
Select the LPR Printing check box and then the Enhanced Printing radio button. LPR enhanced printing sends the print job to the target network printer without spooling all of the print data. LPR enhanced printing is faster than LPR standard printing.

High-speed printing:
Select the High-Speed Printing radio button. High-speed printing sends the print job to the target network printer without spooling all of the print data. High-speed printing is faster than the other two printing methods. If the printer does not support this function, this check box is unavailable.
