Re: Missing Standard TCP/IP Port

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I ran the remote steps you listed down to ports and did not know exactly how
to proceed as it looked like nothing happened. But , I installed the printer
to a local port. When I then attempted to change the port, Standard TCP/IP
port was now available from the new port dropdown list. I used it and print
test page confirmed the install.
Many thanks for your assistance.

If there is a Standard TCP/IP Port installed on the machine, it sounds like
someone hijacked the UI component

sfc /scannow

and have a system disk available to replace I suspect printui.dll.

You could also just create a new port remotely from another machine on the
network

Start
Run
\\remotemachine

Open Printers Folder

File Server Properties

Ports

All dlls and keys you listed were found to be already in place except
LprAckTimeout. There was a TCP/IP Printer already installed on the
Standard
TCP/IP Port.

I could not find a way to share that port.

The option to create a new port only has three options:
Local Port
PDF Port
Print Server
Looks like Standard TCP/IP Port is missing from the choices.

Your help is appreciated.

it's installed by default


If you ran cleanspl.exe and said delete the Standard port monitor, that
would explain this. Here are the steps to get it back. This requires
editing the registry or importing the key from another machine.


the three system files you need should still exist in \windows\system32 (
tcpmon.dll, tcpmib.dll, and tcpmonui.dll ) you can edit your registry
entry
and add the monitor back. If the files do not exist copy them from
another
installation or expand them from the installation CD.

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 no XP machine is handy to export the key, 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

This port is not available from the list of port choices. To my
knowledge
it
is just not available rather than having been available previously and
lost
since it was never previously needed.

How can I install it on Win2000 Laptop PC?
