Securifi Almond+ adding USB printer on Windows 10

I spent some time figuring out how to connect my USB printer to a Securifi Almond device.
i have Almond 3 and Almond+ and i find that although Almond 3 has USB port, it cannot be used for a USB printer. Below are the step for configuring a USB printer to Almond+

first follow the step on https://wiki.securifi.com/index.php/USB_printer_support_-_Almond%2B_2014

Then, in printer and scanners, try to add a printer. It will fail and we click 'The printer that i want isn't listed' . In the next page (screenshot below), select add a local printer


select create a new port







In the next page 
  • In the "Hostname or IP address:" field enter the IP address of your router.
  • The "Port name:" field may be set to something you like.
  • De-select "Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use," then click next.
  • The computer will then attempt to detect the TCP/IP port, and this will fail after some time.
  • On the "Additional port information required" page set the device type to Custom and click "Settings…"
  • Verify the Printer Name or IP Address. The Protocol should be set to "Raw" and the Raw Settings Port Number should be 9100. Leave LPR Settings and SNMP Status Enabled empty or de-selected. Then click OK.







After clicking next, select the printer driver of your printer.
