Need to add HP Standard TCP/IP Port

does anyone know how to just add the HP Standard TCP/IP Port?  I do not want to install all the HP software, just the port.

No, I have the Standard TCP/IP Port listed as an option when I am installing printers, I need the
HP Standard TCP/IP Port
You can use the Standard TCP/IP Port.

The Wiz will ask for the IP Number of the Printer and other Info...

Thank you, but this is not what I am looking for.  I do not need a work around.  I am migrating a print server, and 30+ of the printers are failing due to no HP port.  I need to install the port so the legacy printers will work.

Any luck with this?  I am looking for the exact same thing.  Would be nice if HP just supplied the inf instead of having to install this darn wizard and then manually installing a printer to get it to work.  Even better if they stopped using the "HP standard TCP/IP port" that doesn't help me anyway.
No, sorry :(  
I had to go in and convert every HP to a regular port.  I still did not fix my printmig issue either.
Interrestingly, even after making this port type available by installing one printer manually, I still cannot seem to export/import all the printers using the "HP standard TCP/IP Port", so I guess I'll have to manually change all the ports to use the non-HP "Standard TCP/IP Port" as you have.
