I am trying to set up a Canon imageRUNNER printer on a Windows ME machine. The problem is that I need to set it up as a Standard TCP/IP Port printer but don't have the option with Windows ME. Is there another way of setting up the printer? The printer is not set up on the network as a network printer so I can't set it up that way.
