If you have the Print Services role installed on the server you can use the Print  Management snap-in:
 - Click on Start > Administrative Tools > Print Management.
 - Expand Print Servers > Local Server Name > Ports
 - Right Click on the port you need to remove & select Delete

You can also do this remotely with the Print Services Tools snap-in, part of the Remote Server Administration Tools [RSAT]. It is the same method as above, you just need to select the specific server:
 - Click on Start > Administrative Tools > Print Management.
 - Right Click on Print Servers > Add / Remove Servers
 - Input server name or Browse & select server > Click Add to List > OK
 - Expand Print Servers > Local Server Name > Ports
 - Right Click on the port you need to remove & select Delete
