The PC I was working on was missing the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Local
Port
Followed these instructions and rebooted (probably only required a
restart of the print spooler service). LPT ports came back.
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate the Local Port value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Local
Port
3. Double-click the Driver subkey, and then edit the value. Change the
string value to Localspl.dll, and then click OK.
There are more instructions in the KB if this doesn't resolve the
problem.
