I am trying to install a network printer using TCP/IP to directly print to a printer. I have done this for 3 of our computers by choosing the local printer options in the printer wizard and than choosing a Standard tcp/ip port option under create a new port option.
But only on one of our workstations the TCP/IP port option is not there. The only option under the drop down box is local port and that does not work. What do I do to get the TCP/Ip option back, and why is it not there.
If it is missing:
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
right click and select "New" ..."Key" call it "Standard TCP/IP Port" and then in the right hand pane right click and select "New"...."String Value" enter the name "Driver" and value "tcpmon.dll"
then select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
right click and select "New" ..."Key" call it "Ports" and then in the right hand pane right click and select "New"...."DWORD Value" enter the name
"StatusUpdateEnabled" and click the decimal choice and enter value "1"
right click and select "New"...."DWORD Value" enter the name
"StatusUpdateInterval" and click the decimal choice and enter value "10"
