Can you bring me a little bit more information how to change port number? I do not quite understand what i have to do.

:) or I don't understand you or you donot understand what i am trying to say

I bought D-link router and then appears that it does not support support NAT - port forwarding as I imagine

according that router I can give only one port in my LAN to any device despite different IP address of devices in my LAN

label printer: LAN 9100 WAN 9100
laserjet printer P3005dn or 2420 (not matter because in any of these i can not find where to change port number) LAN 9100 WAN 9001 (WAN can be any number)

i need give printer LAN 9101 port number NOT 9100

SO as i mentioned before I tried search printers port number field (or something like that) in explorer window but I did not find.
I have printer HP laserjet P3005dn , 2420 , but in any of these has field where i can change port number

any ideas?

When you go and add a printer it will give you a choice to add a port, but it will take some doing. Basically you will need to change the port of the printer in the "ports" section.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
If this info is useful, please mark it helpful. Thanks

as I believe printer setting must be configured in printer setting not in client computer

answer to your question: yes, i have tried change printers port number when i adding new printer. - it does not help

Thanks for your help.

I solved that problem
as I figured HP always lisens on 9100 port
bet also they have Dynamic Raw Port Setting option whitch allows you to choose port number between 3000 and 9000

one more thing that I done: I have changed mDNS Highest Priority Service to LPD (RAW)
