RAW port has changed!
Authored by: tehpeh on Mar 14, '05 03:26:11AM

As of Apple Base Station 5.5.1 it seems the RAW port has changed to 9101.

I had problems connecting from Win 2000 to an Epson Color 740, and guessed port 9101 out of frustration. Then I found this article Print via Rendezvous and AirPort from Windows

(I also used the method where you connect the printer directly to Windows via USB, set it up, then re-connect the printer to airport and change the port settings in Windows. Don't know if this is required)

Thanks so much for posting this. I was going out of my mind. I got a new printer today and I was trying to use the old port (which had been working with my old printer) but it wasn't working. I changed it to 9101 and it worked immediately!

Hello-

Man, am I glad you posted! I've been pulling out my hair trying to get XP to print to my new HP printer connected via USB to Airport Extreme. I just upgraded to airport hardware 5.7. Never in a millon years would I have guessed that the setting changed from 9100 to 9101. I went into the printer properties/port/configure and manually changed 9100 to 9101 and I was able to print instantly! Two days I've been trying to get this to work. Thanks a MILLION!

By the way, I got Bonjour to work (used to be called Rendevous), but there is some kind of conflict between it and the Windows service SSDP that causes my task bar to hang for about 2 minutes when I first start Windows. I needed SSDP to detect my wireless internet, so I had to un-install Bonjour. Your post saved me, as I was finally able to set up the printer the old fashioned way. Thanks again.

WOW! It is 5 years later and this post comes out of no where to solve my problem instantly. Switching the port number did the trick on our Epson NX300 printing to an Airport Express.

Are we getting to see a pattern on printer manufacturers? I spend several days on and off trying to solve this on my own and with Apple and Epson.

I have book marked this site.

Thanks.
