LPR Port doesn't appear in Add Printer in NT4

The information in this article applies to:

NT4

SUMMARY

When setting up a port for printing via tcp in NT4 the LPR port does not appear


SOLUTION

If the "LPR port" option does not appear, you most probably need to install or reinstall TCP/IP Printer Services.

To do this, you must go to Start | Settings | Control Panel. Click on "Network" and then on the Services tab.

If "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" does not appear in the list, click Add... to get to the next menu. [If it does appear, there is a problem somewhere; most probably you should "Remove" and "Add" it back.]

On the "Select Network Service Menu," select "Microsoft TCP/IP Printing" and click OK. If clicking the OK button does not succeed, you will have to click on "Have disk..." and point to your WinNT installation disk.
