How to delete unwanted TCP/IP Printer Ports

Windows 7 64bit; I have created, in error, one TCP/IP Printer Port which I would like to delete to keep the Ports clean of rubish, but I am unable to find how to do so.
Can anyone help?

You get the 'port is in use' error message if the port is currently assigned to a printer. It has nothing to do with print spooler - it's just that you can't delete a port that is already assigned to a printer.
1. When you open properties and go to the 'Ports' tab, you have your printers listed with headings - Port, Description, Printer.
2. Identify the printer using the port that you want to delete, exit out of printer properties window and delete the printer.
3. Right Click on any of the remaining listed printers and select 'Properties' (if there is none left then you craft create a fake printer).
4. Click the Ports tab.
5. Select the port and click “Delete port".
6. Check any available port and exit out of 'properties' window.
The above will work in many cases but unfortunately not all. You may well find one of a couple of problems. One symptom is that having removed printer(s) and exited from "Devices and Printers" - if you re-enter "Devices
and Printers" the printers have returned. Another symptom is that Windows will not let you delete the port as described above.
There are three things I have encountered which can need fixing. One is that there are print jobs queued on the printer. If this job can be cancelled that fixes that, otherwise stop and re-start
the print spooler. the third is the "in use" message mentioned below.
The second situation is that a program - in my case foxit reader - is somehow associated with the printer you are trying to remove when you look through the full list of Ports. I had to un-install
Foxit and only re-install it after the printer situation was resolved.
Thirdly you may have to go into "Programs and Features" and un-install the software associated with the printer.

TCP/IP Printer ports - HELP PLEASE

I have a large inkjet printer that I print my graphic design to... for years it has been set up and printing just fine through an Actiontec M1424-WR-rev.D router. No setting were ever changed in the router, it just worked great right out of the box (the Verizon guys installed it). I had a small router with the cable company, but when I got the new router from Verozon the install guy said i didn't need it any more, and moved the ethernet plugs over to the new router. Everything worked fine for years... until the wireless functions started to fail (I don't use the wireless for the office, just the family), so, Verizon told me I had to replace it with a new M1242WR - rev. I router. I transfered all the cables over the the new router in exactly the same positions the were in on the old router. Now my printing software (RIP software) can't see the printer when it's routed through the FiOS router, but If I move the ethernet cable from the router and plug it into the back of my computer, which disconnects my computer from the network and gives me a dedicated ethernet connection to the printer... everything works fine. It's just when I try and run it through the router that my computer and printer can't talk to each other.
My RIP software that drives the printer demands a STATIC IP address set up in a TCP/IP printing port, and the printer is set up with the corresponding static IP address (this is unavoidable). Images of the setup screens below...
The RIP software setup is here... very simple:
Now, on the actual printer, the IP address matches (192.168.0.110), the subnet masks are 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is set at 192-168.0.1.
This is all the info I have, and all I know is that it worked fine with no setup on the old router, and does NOT work on the new router... it used to be plug-n-play, now it's plug-n-stop.
Again, when the ethernet cable run directly from the computer it drives the printer just fine, connected to the router first and it failes completely.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said... this has worked great for years, I haven't changed a thing on the printer or computer... the only change is the new router... I'm out of production until I figure this out (
Cabe...

The revision I router out of the box uses the following default IP addresses
192.168.1.x IP Address
255.255.255.0 Subnet
192.168.1.1 Default gateway
I notice you aren't using that IP Address scheme at all in the screen shots. Did you change the Verizon router internal settings to use the 0.1 ip scheme?

How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
Thanks.

Thank you for your response.
However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
Thank you.

On a 5230 highlight the route you wish to delete, then hit the search bar. The keypad appears, then just press the backward pointing small white arrow on the far right hand side of the screen about half way down and it will then say "Delete selected route?"

Create TCP/IP Printing Port for OfficeJet Pro 8600

I need to print across a hardware firewall (from wireless to wired networks, different subnet), so I need to create a standard TCP/IP printing port in Windows 7. Does the printer use RAW on TCP port 9100 or are there other settings I need to configure?
Thanks.

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with the printer not being able to print over a firewall.
I believe the easiest way to do this would be to unblock the ports rather than adding a printer through windows.
Router settings for HP Printers
Router should be broadcasting in “G Mode only”. This normally means turning “Mixed mode” off.
For Dual Band Routers, make sure they have disabled the 5ghz band and should only be operating on 2.4ghz
Mac filtering should be disabled
Security type should be “WPA 2 Personal”
On some routers they have a “hardware firewall”, so the below ports would need to be opened
UDP- 5353 67 80 547 53 5222 5223 5355 137 138 139 443 427 161 514 3702 5357 445 3910 Port range: 9999 - 65535
TCP- 445 80 68 8080 443 137 138 139 427 5222 5223 9100 445 515 161 9101 9102 9103 9110 9220 9290 9280 9500

How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

How do I remove USB virtual printer port

Im having some problems printing (see different thread) so I have removed all reference to the printers and drivers (nothing in devices and printers; nothing in print management), Ive removed all USB devices (except the mouse) switched off and removed the
battery for 60 minutes. The restarted.
Still 3 USB ports
Ive tried
http://www.ehow.com/how_6688235_delete-usb-virtual-printer-port.html but I cant see the virtual USB ports in device manager
http://www.ehow.com/how_6910965_delete-usb-printer-port.html But I cant (unsurprisingly) find the ports in installed programs
http://www.ehow.com/how_5869559_remove-usb-printer-port.htmll (delete form devices and printers) But when I highlight the port from printer properties and click delete I get "selected port cannot be deleted. The request is not supported
Makes me think these are not properly installed ports.
Ive searched the registry for USB001 and there are 4 USB00? entries all under unknown printer with headings like 6&30e6e7fe&0&USB003. So I tried to deleted all of them. It lest me delete the parameter sub key but I am not allowed to delete the other
keys (error while deleting key)
So after a bit of a search I came up with psexec (see link for more details and do take backups and read the instructions)

And that allowed me to get rid of the ports from the registry but they were still visible in Devices adn printers under ports (after slecting a device)
So how do I get rid of these wretched ports?

Hi,
Yes, you could create a new port for other printer. Of course, you also assign it to a different print if you don't use this printer.
The detailed steps are below:
1. Click the START button, click navigate to "Control Panel", then navigate to and click on "Printers."
2. Once the printers window is open, click on "Add a printer" in the dark blue menu bar.
3. At the "Choose a printer port" section click on the "Create a new port" radio button then select "Standard TCP/IP Port" for the "Type of port."
4. At the "Type a printer hostname or IP Address" section select "TCP/IP Device" for "Device type" and input the proper hostname depending on the printer that you are installing, the IPs for all of the different departmental printers can be gotten from the
main printer help page on this website.
5. At the "Type a printer name" section type in what you would like to call the printer under the "Printer name" section, this is entirely up to you. Here you also want to make sure that the driver that it says it will install corresponds with the model
of printer you are installing.
6. After the installation you should get a section called "You've successfully added [printername]." Here you should click the "Print a test page" button to make sure everything is installed correctly.

How to delete unwanted transfer rules from the pool

Hi experts,
I want to know how to delete the unwanted transfer rules from the pool on the right hand side of the transfer rules. I realized I don't need them. I get a warning icon with them sitting in the pool.

You can't delete it yourself. All you can do is hide it so it doesn't appear on your purchased list, as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. iTunes store support may be able to do this for you if you contact them by filling out this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How to delete unwanted iphotos? (not edited originals)

How can I delete unwanted photos in iphoto? I don't care about deleting originals that I have been edited, I want to remove trash shots from my computer while working in iPhoto. So is there a way to delete photos from DB, w/o going into the finder. I can take 50 shots in 2 mintues. Until I upload in iPhoto, mess with them, I can't tell good from bad. I don't want to store all forever. Help?

atlantalee
Always remember the golden rule. Don' make any changes to the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - in the finder. Do everything working in iPhoto.
It's hard to tell what's good and what's not until you get them into iPhoto or check in Preview.
Dealing with them in iPhoto is the easiest way to do it . Look at them right after you import. You can select multiple shots by holding down the COMMAND key while clicking on the ones you want to trash. You can also use the shift key to get rid of a bunch all in a row. Click the first to select, then click the last holding down SHIFT - that will select all in a row.
Then go to the Photo drop down menu and delete or trash the photos selected.

How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section. The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

How to delete unwanted apps

How do I delete unwanted apps that I do not want anymore? And also to where they are not even stored in iCloud? How does one get rid of iCloud? I think somehow I got an iCloud account that I do not even want... is there a way to get rid of that? Thanks in advance.

Tap and hold on the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "X" that appears. Note, you cannot delete the preinstalled apps.
Apps are not stored in your iCloud account. Only you would know if you signed up for an iCloud account. If you don't want to use it, log out. Settings>iCloud.

How to delete unwanted pages?

Greetings all:
I'm very new to using FrameMaker, and I seem to be struggling with deleting unwanted pages. I was hoping someone could help me with this problem.
Thanks!

Hi Irene; welcome to the club!
Assuming your file is stand-alone, you probably have the pagination set to double-sided and "make page count odd"... so a trailing left page would always be generated.
If your file(s) are in a book, the pagination of Chapter 1 is actually controlled by how Chapter 2 is set to open, and so on through the book. If Chapter 2 is set to start on a right hand page, Chapter 1 will generate a blank page at the end of the file, if it's required to make Chapter 2's opening page happen correctly. This ripples all through the book. Note that pagination in a book is controlled by the book file -- right click one or more component files to see the pagination properties.
In either case, you can temporarily delete the extra pages by using Special > Delete Page, but it'll pop back up when the file is saved / reopened unless you track down which pagination property is causing it and change that setting.
