I know that i could delete the printer and reinstall, but i would rather not lose the configuration since this same printer is installed on a number of laptops, each of them experiencing this same issue. 0 Question by:wktp213a Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 2 Best Solution byFreeman-B https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22966615/Error-message-when-configuring-printer-port-in-windows-xp.html Exactly what is the problem you are having with the printer that requires a change in the port?

I've seen several vendor-specific ports that didn't like being altered through Windows. In many cases, I've found it easier to simply create a new port and assign the printer to that port. After that, you can delete the old one that was having problems if you want. 0 LVL 2 Overall: Level 2 Windows XP 1 Message Expert Comment by:pinkisthenewblue2007-11-18 To add a little to Freeman-B, all the lexmark printers I've come across are happy to use either a TCP/IP port or the "Lexmark Lame-ass" port. I don't even know the benifits of using the Lexmark one, I always delete them straight away. 0 Write Comment First Name Please enter a first name Last Name Please enter a last name Email We will never share this with anyone.

You may http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-fix-a-network-printer-suddenly-showing-as-offline-in-windows-vista/comment-page-3/ find, as I have done recently, that a network printer installed on a Windows Vista starts suddenly showing as Offline even when other machines on the network can access it fine. I originally thought it would be an IP address issue, but it turned out not to be anything to do with that. In fact, the solution was far simpler - but also slightly strange… It turns out that Windows Vista automatically enables SNMP support an error for networked printers, and if it can't get a response to a SNMP message then it assumes the printer is offline. SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol and is a way of getting information from network devices (such as routers, servers and printers), mainly for the purposes of finding out if there are any problems with the devices. A number of networked printers implement SNMP, and will respond to SNMP queries with information, but some an error occurred don't. My printer (a fairly old Lexmark T640) is one of the ones that doesn't implement it - so of course Vista will never get a response to a SNMP message. The result of which is that the printer will start showing as offline at a seemingly random time because Vista has just sent a SNMP message to it, and it hasn't responded. Thankfully there is a simple way to fix this - and it just involves telling Vista not to try and communicate with the printer via SNMP. Simply right-click on the printer in the Printers window, choose the Ports tab, and select Configure Port. At the bottom you will see a checkbox saying something like SNMP Status Enable. Untick that, and the printer should start showing as online again. That should be it…but here are a few other tips/observations from people who've commented on this post: This has been found to work on a variety of versions of Windows including Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows 8.1 Windows 10 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2012 You could need to be logged in as an administrator before you can change the SNMP status If you're running Windows 8 then this could be the problem instead (thanks Gompo) If you find that this solves it for a bit but
