I do not have an option to add TCP/IP on standard printing port on my SBS server 2003
I am trying to set up a TCPIP port for a Dell printer. People were having printing issues, mostly caused by spooling so I used cleanspool software and then rebooted the system. I then used Dell's printer setup disk which work with no issues before and now it set all my printer to print to file. I tried to manually add the printer and it is not giving me the standard TCPIP port when I check create port all that is in there is local.
Please Help

Did you use Notepad? Or Wordpad to create that file? (You need to use Notepad so it will save it as the correct file type).

I also modified the CRLF's in the above text to properly format the Reg entry. So be sure you use it the way it is now.
Also, I believe that you don't actually have to reboot the server, you should be able to just run these commands in a CMD window:
net stop spooler
net start spooler

Yah I used notpad changed it to all files and saved the file as a .reg. It is saying the specific file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files within the registry editor.
Not sure what going on but I do see that I don't have these keys in my registry.

Make sure that the TOP line in that file is:
"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"

I was having the same problem with the missing TCP/IP printing and the solution here worked. After copying the necessary files I just reset the spooler service and didn't even have to reboot. Thank you!
