I know this can be done, but I have forgotten the IP setting string for doing it when configuring a printer...

I have a print server (router with USB ports for USB printers). My USB connected printer shows as being LPT1 on the print servers config page.

The print servers IP is 10.131.97.175. Using Win10, I can add a printer via TCP/IP, but from memory I need to enter the IP as 10.131.97.175 ????,
Where the ???? represents the fact that it is a LPT on that IP. Anyone know please?

Maybe something like 10.131.97.175 -LPT1 or 10.131.97.175/LPT1 or 10.131.97.175-LPT1
