6Foot2 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 We have a workstation which is giving me major headaches. There is a printer port which is corrupt and which I cannot delete [see attached picture] Has anyone esle seen this? Has anyone else been able to cure it? It is a problem for me because I cannot add a USB printer which is needed locally in the office where the workstation is located. Client OS: Windows XP Pro: SP3. Thanks.
mac_shinobi Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) not sure if this will help FYI you can remove an obsolete/invalid printer port by deleting the appropriate registry key under HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports\ Obviously make sure you have relevant rights / permissions to the above reg key ( not sure if the above key lists local ports or just tcp/ip ones ? Just had a look and there seems to be another part in the same area for local ports etc so just have a rummage around in there Edited October 21, 2009 by mac_shinobi
