Canon IR3245 Not Discoverable on the Network

[Gurei]

Hi all.
I have the above printer assigned a static IPv4 address and ICMP ping tests work fine however the printer cannot be discovered by PCs on the network (same LAN).
Configuring the printer manually on the PCs it fails to print. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,

Don't rely on Microsoft or Apple to supply the correct (fully functional) drivers for an existing IP based printer on your network.

Supply the drivers yourself:

Support | Support - Multifunction | imageRUNNER 3245 | Canon USA

If this is on a windows domain, add the print server role on a DC or file server, install and share the printer from there.

Thank you Rick for your input.

When installing the driver, what is the best port to select and Add Port?

On the printer, on network settings, I have enabled RAW and installed PLC6 drivers on my PC with port RAW 9100. When I send a document to print it gives an error for failing to print after a while. Any advice? Heard there is a license required to enable printing. Is this true?
