What do we mean by an IP Number?
Every important server or network printer has a unique IP number somewhat like each of us has
a unique social security number.

choose ADD PRINTER under the PRINTER MENU ...
you will see something like this (every computer a slightly different look)
enter the IP number of the desired printer in the ADDRESS field for example 192.168.1.40 for the Charles Brown printer

From cfssrv07, go to PRINTERS and FAXES ... choose ADD A PRINTER ... then choose LOCAL PRINTER attached to this computer which seems strange ... do not check A NETWORK PRINTER ... do not check AUTOMATICALLY DETECT and INSTALL
On next screen choose to CREATE A NEW PORT ... from drop down list, choose STANDARD TCP-IP
