    Printer port already exists


    New to forum

    I was trying to add an HP 1200SE printer manually by way of linksys printer server(no Win 7 updated drivers).

    After configuring it, it didn't work so I attempted to redo entries. I now get a message "port already exists" after I deleted the previous install.

    How do I delete the already in use port so I can start over?

    Windows 7 64 bit on just acquired Z570 Lenovo laptop.

    Thanks for the help

    You could always try avoiding the print server and turning on UPnP in your router, as long as your firewall is nice and tight, and printing that way direct through the workstation hosting the printer... although you may need to embed fonts in documents to get them to print correctly...
