Good thinking.
There may be a bit more information available if you can get at the
print server. Try telling us what its model name is?
That said, you should be able to find what the print server says about
itself:
Get hold of the terminal program Nettle from
http://nettle.sourceforge.net
Run Nettle and try to connect to the print server by entering the local
network address of the print server. You may be asked for a password at
this stage; if you are lucky, just press the enter key.
Once the server is accessed, you should be able to find the port names
from the menus.
I have a D-Link server which has run continuously with no trouble for
around 10 years.
