All these were created in Windows, manually, just that the person doing it
accidentally used the wrong IP type for the port. Any other printer/port
we
create can be deleted just fine.

Thanks.

Alan,

The problem is that we've tried that, and, either they don't delete,
or,
they come back. This is unique to HP IP Ports, as, we have no problems
with
MS IP Ports.

Thanks.

make sure the ports are no longer associated with any printers before
deleting the ports. Just create a new Standard TCP/IP port to the
same
hostname or IP. You can rename the default name since it might be a
dup
of
the ones already created. Assign the new address to the printers and
delete
the HP Standard TCP/IP ports.

later on you can remove the monitor entry completely in the registry
and
the
you will not have the option to add this port type again after a
spooler
restart.

There are some KBs available on removing monitor entries on clustered
machines.

Didn't see a "printing" newsgroup, so, am addressing this august
body...

We are using a 2-node clustered Server 2003 R2 Enterprise
printserver,
and,
at one time someone installed HP IP ports, rather than the Windows
IP
Ports
for 4 of the printers.

In trying to uninstall/remove these, we're having issues, as, they
don't
remove. I don't know if this is a printing issue or a cluster
issue,
but,
would appreciate some guidance on removing them.

Thanks!
