TCP/IP Port

[cmcintosh]

I needed to uninstall a network printer. I deleted the printer but I don't know how to delete the port now? Any suggestions? I'm sure it's simple...I just can't find it.

Don't bother trying to delete the port. It's part of Windows and won't hurt anything by staying there ready for someday when another network printer is installed, if ever.

Go to Printers, select file, select server properties, select the ports tab and then delete the IP address necessary to reinstall.

I found the answer. The port has to be deleted in order to reinstall. Otherwise it will tell you it already exists.

You didn't say the printer was going to be re-installed.
