To add a little to Freeman-B, all the lexmark printers I've come across are happy to use either a TCP/IP port or the &quot;Lexmark Lame-ass&quot; port. I don't even know the benifits of using the Lexmark one, I always delete them straight away.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
When choosing &quot;configure port&quot; from the port tab on the printer properties page, we receive the following message:<br />
<br />
&quot;an error occurred during port configuration. operation could not be completed&quot;<br />
<br />
It is a lexmark network port (not standard tcp/ip), however there are no Lexmark applications installed on the PC.<br />
<br />
I know that i could delete the printer and reinstall, but i would rather not lose the configuration since this same printer is installed on a number of laptops, each of them experiencing this same issue.

Error message when configuring printer port in windows xp

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
