reinstalling tcp/ip print monitor

[bollo318]

Hi

I recently had a problem on a machine where the print spooler was corrupted. Ended up using cleanspl to clean out the spooler. Only thing is that I removed the TCP/IP print monitor (without realising the cosequences!) Now when I go to add a printer as a local printer on a TCP/IP port I can't, the Standard TCP/IP port isn't even an option. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to reinstall this, without having to rebuild the machine.

Hopefully this procedure will restore it for you:

 

Missing Standard TCP/IP Port - Mombu the Microsoft Forum

If you ran cleanspl.exe and said delete the Standard port monitor, that

would explain this. Here are the steps to get it back. This requires

editing the registry or importing the key from another machine.

 

 

the three system files you need should still exist in \windows\system32 (

tcpmon.dll, tcpmib.dll, and tcpmonui.dll ) you can edit your registry entry

and add the monitor back. If the files do not exist copy them from another

installation or expand them from the installation CD.

 

If you have any Win2k or greater system handy you can export the Standard

TCP/IP Port key and import to the other machine. Even if you do not

export this key if you can look at this key for guidance when adding back

the entry it is helpful.

 

stop and start spooler
