Need to add a Printer Port Type in Windows 8.1
Just got a Lenovo All in one with Windows 8.1, I need to create a new Port Type for a special printer I have.

The main problems is thar I can't find where to add the printer port Type.

I went to Control Panes >ย Admin Tools

But there is no Print Management.

Tried to run printmanagement.msc and didn't work.
Open mmc and tried to add the Print Management snap in, but it is not listed.

In devices and printers, enter printer properties, ports and tried to create a new port and new type port and didn't worked (get an error saying that a file can't be found)

Some one knows another option?

BTW the Printer is a KIP 3000 with the old system version.

This used to work in Windows 7.

Thanks

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.
