Re: Printing to Standard TCP/IP Port

Does the registry entry exist for the port?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard
TCP/IP Port


If not, did you recently run cleanspl and select to delete the monitor?

the three files you need still exist in system32 (
tcpmon.dll,tcpmib.dll, and tcpmonui.dll ) you can edit your registry
entry and add the monitor
back (cleanspl basically just deletes the reg entries ).

If you have any Win2k or greater system handy you can export the
Standard
TCP/IP Port key and import to the other machine. Even if you do not
export
this key if you can look at this key for guidance when adding back the
entry
it is helpful.
stop and start spooler


if not, locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitor\

Add key
Standard TCP/IP Port
Add String Value; value name=Driver; value data=tcpmon.dll

under Standard TCP/IP Port
Add Key
Ports
Add three Dwords in Ports (I am listing the value data in
decimal)
LprAckTimeout value data= 180
StatusUpdateEnabled value data= 1
StatusUpdateInterval value data= 10

stop and start spooler

I'm trying to setup a printer using the printer wizard and selecting:

"Local printer attached to the computer"
"Then create a new port"

At this point I'm normally able to select "Standard TCP/IP Port" from the
Type of port pull down. For some reason it's not allowing me. Do I need
to
run some routine to add this back to the computer or am I overlooking
something simple.
