In your later message, you've used lpt3, should these be the same?

Also, are you running this command on PC H, or PC O? If you run this on PC
O, then the PC O is already connected to the printer through the wireless
router, I am not sure why do you need to do this on PC O; if it is on PC H,
then the IP address of the PC H (after using the wireless router) is a DHCP
one assigned by the wirelss router, which is 192.168.1.107, which is not
accessible by the PC H at all, since it is inside the office wireless
router...

Either on PC H or PC O, there is no way to select "lpt3 and TCP/IP port"
together, whenever I select lpt3, the TCP/IP port will be unchecked...

The PC H still prints to its physical local printer, which is actually
non-existent, so it still could not print at all...
