Adding printers to a computer via Add Hardware through tcp/ip port
I am building a print server on a dell server running Windows 2000 Advance Server.
These printers are already connected to my company network which they are working off an exisiting print server. (one built way before I came and work for this company)
This is server is currently not on the domain but use to be a server working on the domain.
At this point, i am adding in the drivers for the printers.. while adding one of the printers i was selecting the drivers for it and had accidently hit the back button. This brought be back to the screen to which i add in the port name (tcp/ip port address, ie 10.0.0.xxx) well when i reenter the port number it saids that the port already exists and to use a different one. No where in the system do i see the one that was supposely added so i can add the drivers i wasnt able to do. If you could please email me as soon as possible for i got a deadline on this project.

I have found the issue and was able to fix it.. i apoligize for the delay.
You should be able to see the port if you go back one more step from the add port box. If the port has already been added then it will be in the list of all of your other ports (e.g. LPT1, USB).
You should get an email sent to you when a comment is added to your question but we do not communicate by email. If we solved problems that way then noone else would be able to use the solution.
Good luck,
