No USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT

HP Pavillion ZD8000 notebook
Windows XP service pack 3
Lexmark Series x5650 printer
Since I had laptop had no trouble printing. Suddenly, cannot print. Said printer was offline.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled Lexmark printer. (USB printer).
Ran "control printers" - the Lexmark is not there even though it says installed successfully.
Plug and play can't fix it, and when usb is connected, says installed successfully.
Looking further into issue, tried adding manually, but there is no
USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT FOR USB in the list of ports .
Per HP instructions on reparing usb ports (although not sure if this was the issue anyway, I unintalled all the usb hubs from device mgr , reinstalled usb.inf, and even usbprint.inf.
Problem still exists. There is no virtual printer port.
Can anyone figure this one out?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick response.
All usb devices work fine. (other than the printer)
I just don't know why it's not being recognized, and the virtual
printer port is not appearing. I have searched the net
for hours and cannot seem to find a fix though I
have tried the recommendations.

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)
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/56fed319-a532-46a4-a384-fd795998c4a3/regedit-permissions-access-denied-or-error-while-deleting-key-even-as-admin?forum=w7itproinstall
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 Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.
Install a printer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/install-printer#install-printer=windows-7
Here for more information:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows-vista/add-or-remove-a-printer
If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
Hope this may help
Best regards
Michael

Why don't match the values of printer ports, obtained through WMI in different ways?

Why don't match the values of printer ports, obtained through WMI in different ways?
$Ports = Get-WmiObject Win32_TcpIpPrinterPort -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $ComputerName
$Printers = Get-WmiObject Win32_Printer -namespace "root\CIMV2" -ComputerName $ComputerName
Further, for example, on the same computer $Ports.Name returns me: (10.0.66.204 10.0.66.210 10.0.66.246 10.0.66.247)
and $Printers.PortName (XPSPort: USB001 10.0.66.247 HPLaserJet400MFPM425dn 10.0.66.246 SHRFAX :) I.e. the values don't match to each other although they logically should be the same. Why so?
In the end I need to get a binding the printer - the value (not the name) of the port. In Win32_Printer there is no such parameter, and there is no information about the printer in Win32_TcpIpPrinterPort. I wanted to connect them through port name but they
don't match.

Very unclear.
Win32_Printer returns the bound port name.
Get-WmiObject win32_tcpipprinterport -filter "Name='192.168.1.100_2'"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Printer Port Problem

I am running parallels - recently a problem has developed with my printer port. When I plug the cable into the USB - the usual "Which device do you want to use - Mac OS or Virtual Machine" question no longer pops up. Ad my printer no longer works.

You need to set up the peripherals from Parallels. Post your issue in the Parallels support forum.

How can I set up a share virtual printer on my macbook to print to pdf from my iPhone 5 or iPad?

I've never had the occassion to use a virtual printer setup but I've seen where other people have when they need to print to pdf and have no printer available where they are. So, my question is really a spin off of that type of situation, except I have a printer, I just don't want to print. I want to save from my iPad or iPhone to my MacBook's hard drive in pdf format. From what I've seen online, I would imagine it involves setting up a virtual printer on the MacBook that I can set up as a shared printer, but there are so many conflicting responses on setting up a virtual printer and most of them are for older. Does anyone have any experience with setting up a similar virtual printer in Maverick?
For completeness, I'll add system info:
MackBook 5.2 Core 2 Duo 2 GHz upgraded with 4 GB DDR2 RAM and Maverick OS
Obviously the virtual printer needs to support iPrint.

If I can not set up a second Contacts folder, does anybody have an alternative way of having contact information that a person could see the information from an Outlook Format available for viewing?

Error message on install no printer port could be assigned

To my knowledge, no one has gotten AA 7 to work on Win 7. A few have succeeded with AA8. AA9 is the minimum certified to work on Win 7. You will likely have to upgrade for Win 7.

Using USB device with Virtual Com port

I have an actisys IR USB device that creates a virtual serial port. I can read from it using VISA, however it will not write. I have the same setup working on LV 6.1 running windows 2000. I need to make it work on my system running XP and LV 7.1.

Hello,
Does your Windows 2000/LabVIEW 6.1 system work correctly or do you see the same behavior? It sounds like there may be something wrong with the termination of the command. What termination method are you using? Is your instrument set for that method? You may also want to try using the NI-488.2 Interactive Control. A tutorial on how to use it is located here if needed. This will bypass VISA and LabVIEW. If this works, you may want to update to the latest version of VISA (if you don't already have it) to see if that fixes the issue.

How do I download my Photosmart D5160 virtual printer to my windows 7

I have been using my Photosmart D5160 printer in a XP Vertual mode on my Windows 7 computer for about eight years now to print lables on DVDs. Somthing happened in the last couple of weeks and the virtual printer won't conect to my Windows 7 computer any more. I would like to know how to download the Photosmart D5160 printer file to Vertual XP program to my Windows 7 computer again so I can print on DVDs.

System Preferences->Sharing, check DVD or CD Sharing to on.
Also, make note of the iMac's IP address in case Windows
doesn't automatically see it and you need to connect
manually.

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?

Acrobat 7.0 Printer port problem with windows 7.0?

I installed adbobe acrobat 7.0 standard on my new computer (windows 7.0), and I get this message: "warning 20225 adobe 7.0 ws unanle to setup adobe printer port." Does acrobat 7.0 work with windows 7.0?

If you are able to open Acrobat and Distiller, then you may be able to create a work-around. If the Adobe PDF printer was created, but not the port, then change the port to a "print-to-file" setting. Then open Distiller and setup a watched folder that you would print the file to. When you print the file, you may have to set the file extension to PS rather than the default PRN. The file would be a PS file and the extension is only to help the watched folder setup. Then try to print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if the watched folder will do the job. I am not sure and have not tried it on Win7 (I have AA9) but it is an option to try. If it does not work, then it is time to upgrade -- may be a good idea anyway.

Acrobat X Pro Virtual Printer

I just install Acrobat X pro for mac on iMac 10.6.5. Everything went smoothly with one exception.

Is it no longer available? If so how do I create the printer?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I am running Acorbat X. Does thie KB article refers to Acrobat 9. Does it also apply to Acrobat X?

Controlling the encoding of a PDF printed with a virtual printer?

Hi all.
In another thread, I was told that I cannot change the encoding of fonts with Adobe Reader. How about with Acrobat?
In an existing business process, users print PDFs to a virtual printer from Acrobat Reader. The resulting PDF somtimes contain CID fonts with encoding Identity-H.
Not all PDF viewers do this, some keep the encoding of the original pdf (same virtual printer used).
Can I control the encoding of the resulting PDF by printing from Acrobat (or any other Adobe product)?
All comments appreciated,
/Martin

Thanks for answering!
1) I realize it seems strange, but the virtual printer is embedded in one of our products. The product uses Windows printing as a point of integration in order to enable almost any windows program (including PDF readers) to send data to our server. In effect, we use pdf as our data protocol over the wire. It's a long story...
2) The virtual printer embedded in our product is NovaPDF.
3) I wish it wasn't an issue, but the library we use to extract text (PDFNet) does not seem to handle it very well. However, I am simultaneously looking for a solution in that end too.
The problem only occurs very rarely, for specific PDFs only. PDFs created by the library iText seem to be particularly problematic.

How should I develop Level Controller using Parallel port(Printer port)

I need to develop a level controller using parallel port of my computer with a third party Data Acquisition Device. Is it possible to do it with In and out port vi in labView 7.1. Please guide me how can should I configure these Vis to write control data and then receive level transmitteed data through parallel Port(Printer port). My third party DAQ has two analog input channel and one analog output channel.
