-* Follow IBM i instructions for setting up a printer as a '''device description''' (IPP/SNMP device i.e. 3812). This should be done using the CRTDEVD command. Important parameters to note are the manufacturer type/model, the host name, and device description type etc.
+* Follow IBM i instructions for setting up a printer as a '''device description''' (of type 3812). This should be done using the CRTDEVD command. Important parameters to note are the manufacturer type/model, the host name, and device description type etc. [https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/information-printers-lexmark This page] will indicate which printer protocol to use, most likely IPP or SNMP (this page is for Lexmark but there are similar pages for other printer manufacturers).
-* Test print from IBM i using WRKSPLF and changing the printer on a 1-pager.
+* Remember to vary on the device and start the printer writer (STRPRTWTR ''printer name'').

 * Access the web GUI, fill out device information (name, location, SNMP).
 * Set static IP and other network settings (DNS, gateway etc.). Use an IP within the range for printers (check DNS server or do a network scan). Use Colosoft to scan the network for acceptable IP range. Confirm selection of IP address with nslookup. Leave Netmask and gateway unchanged.
 * Give the device a hostname, using the convention (check DNS server for current printer names).
