Hi

Is it possible to set different port than 9100 when choosing a
standard tcp ip printing port ?

Any comment is welcome

Yes

The device has to support the port configured

For example, Lexmark has multi port print server devices. The first port on
the device is generally 9100, port 2 is 9101 or 9102 and the third is 9102
or 9103.

So is it possible to use other TCP ports; for example 7000, 7001,
7002, ...

or does windows look only for 9100 port and the following ports

Standard TCP/IP Port will send data to any port that is configured in the
port setting.

The printer will only print if it have the same port open for raw data
transfer.
