Name Port

This step of the Virtual Printer Port Wizard allows you to enter the name of the virtual printer port and select a port policy. The name is required when creating a new virtual printer port and it cannot be changed when updating a port. The port name has no size limit and can contain most characters including spaces.

We recommend the port name be 32 characters or less. You should also use a descriptive name such as "Printer in room 3" or "Office Printer." This name will be the name known to Windows®.
