Printer port #???

I have a wireless laptop and I am not able to print from it. After 4-5 hours online with microsoft , we found that when mcafee was disabled i was able to print from my wireless laptop. So, they advised me to contact mcafee to "reconfigure"  to allow printing from the laptop. I spent 2 more hours online with mcafee, followed all their instructions but it still did not resolve the issue. Finally, the last rep from mcafee said I needed to contact HP for the "port #" for the printers (I have a Laserjet 1012 and a Deskjet 5740.) Can someone please tell me where to find these port numbers ????? I tried to get through to HP and the computer response says there is no support for my product any longer. I just need to figure out these port #'s in order to adjust the firewall settings in Mcafee.
This has been extremely frustrating-- can someone please help me out??

McAfee? Oh you're in luck! HP has made a document to configure McAfee to allow all ports and programs for printers. Refer THIS document.

  • Error message on install no printer port could be assigned

    I have installed Acrobat 7.0 professional on my new windows 7.0 laptop. On install an error msg says "No rinter port could be assigned." I have tried a couple times and no luck. Any way to assign a pdf printer port manually?
    thanks

    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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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.

  • How to collect data and store data through printer port usind Dev'6i

    Hi,
    When we make a phone call through a PABX machine, the PABX machine print the call's detail if it is connect to printer. Let us assume, the PABX machine is connected via the printer cable with a PC at it's printer port. Now, the data sending by the PABX machine is reaching to PC's printer port, I would like to collect those data and store in a file(of any format) using Developer 6i. Is that possible? If yes, then how? Do I need to use any ActiveX control? Or is there any other way?
    Please Help me out. Thanks in advance.

    Dear Friends
    I also need a solution to this problem. But it may require sequance / format of information being sent by weigh bridge to the COM port. Normally the W/b company has their own format of information. We might have to change the COMP port speed also .e.g 9600 BPS, 2400 BPS etc.

  • Pro upgrade removes PDF printer port

    I recently purchased and installed AA8 Pro upgrade from AA8 Std. During the installation, it required automatically uninstalling AA8 Std before continuing and, during it's AA8 Pro install, gave an error about creating the PDF printer port. After the install completed, the PDF printer is there, but the port is set to LPT1:. As a result, every time I create a PDF from within Word or such, I get a "document failed to print" message from the printer queue. I have to open the queue and delete the jobs. However, the PDF file does get created and opens in acrobat? Does anyone know how to re-create the Documents/*.PDF port and associate it back with the printer to eliminate the issue?

  • Installation - cannot create a printer port.

    I am reinstalling Acrobat 7 from a CD after upgrading my computer fromW-XP to W7 64bit, and it says it cannot create a printer port - and so, cannot create a PDF from Office applications.  Read and edit work OK, and it works OK on an older machine with W7 32 bit.  Upgrading online to V7.1 did not fix it, nor did the repair option.  What now?

    The AA7 print driver is not compatible. Neither is AcroTray. Do Acrobat and Distiller both open? If so, then you can download a PS driver (possibly form Adobe or select one of the HP Color PS printer) and install that driver. Open the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to File. You can then print to this printer. However, the file that is created is a PS file (PRN extension typically) and must be opened in Distiller to create a PDF. A little extra work. If you are not happy with that, then you should purchase Acrobat XI to go along with your new OS.

  • 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?
    Nevio

    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.

  • Missing printer port

    Ever since having to reinstall my OS because of a hardware upgrade screwing up my startup files, I am unable to install my printer port (LPT1) successfully.  Device manager simply doesn't detect it.  When I install it manually, it works, and the wizard tells me the drivers were successfully installed, and I must restart.  After I restart, the device mgr. shows an ! beside the printer port, and the properties box tells me that the device is either not present, or the drivers are not installed correctly.  Upon reinstalling the drivers, nothing changes, and WindowsME does not detect the port.  And when I try to install my printer, there is no LPT1 detected to install it to.  I have spent hours using different drivers, repairing registry, and trying to get this thing to work, with no success.  I would be grateful for any suggestions.  

    man, you really are the forum god.  i must be an idiot.  it worked! thanks!

  • Presario CQ56 win7x64 printer ports gone

    I have a presario cq56 win7 x64 that will not print. The printer ports have disapeared from all loaded printers. I get no error mssages. I have run troubleshooters from microsoft and hp and cannot identify the problem. I have tried to reload the printers, no luck. Please help.

    In the Devices and printers window, across the top, there is an option "Print Server Properties". This does list a bunch of printer ports. My printer is listed on a usb port. (I have attempted to connect wirelessly and usb). When I attempt to configure the usb port listed, "an error occured during port configuration. This operation is not supported." The TCP/IP port settings open, and with the exception of the port name/ip address, are all configured the same: Protocol - raw, Raw settings - port number 9100, LPR settings - none, SNMP status Enabled - community name - public, SNMP Device Index - 1
    There are six TCP/IP ports listed at this point, I have only one brand new Canon printer (MG5300) to get working.
    I found another port on the list; CNBJNP_888717B1A30A Canon BJ Network Port. I cannot view properties, or configure this port.
    I have entertained a system restore, but cannot go back far enough to get past the problem. (Wife says end of July)
    Thanks so much for your help, I'm lost on this one

  • 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)_/¯

  • Can't set up printer - port doesn't show an Appletalk tab

    I installed 10.2.8 recently. I was unable to set up my printer (LaserWriter Pro 600) because there was no Appletalk tab in the System Preferences > Network > printer port tab (message received was that Appletalk hadn't been started). In fact, the tab arrangement was identical to the modem port. I noticed earlier that when starting Internet Connect, the default port was the Printer port (very annoying); I'd guess there's a connection between these conditions.
    Does anyone know why this is occuring and how to fix/get around it?
    Thank you in advance.

    I don't have 10.2 here in front of me, but I'm pretty sure of this:
    Starting in either 10.1 or 10.2, appletalk is not available on the localtalk-capable printer or modem ports of G3 computers. Appletalk is only available on TCP/IP-capable connections (ethernet and PPP-modem).
    You need to get the Pro 600 onto ethernet (an ethernet to localtalk bridge, for example)
