An Error Occurred During Port Configuration
Contents |
own business, trying to add a new shared printer to a Windows 2008 Server, when all of a sudden, you get hit with this strange error message. I mean, come on, we’re just trying to configure or delete a port, right? One of my favorite an error occurred during port configuration operation could not be completed sayings is that the only constant is change. The first time I ran into this one, it an error occurred during port configuration this operation is not supported windows 7 drove me a little batty. I’ve been configuring shared printers on TCP/IP ports for years, and never had a machine give me this error. an error occurred during port configuration. this operation is not supported Well, Microsoft changed this one on me. The solution is to close the Printer properties dialog, then in the “Device and Printers” window, highlight the printer you want to change, and click on “Print Server Properties” in the menu bar. Then an error occurred during port configuration the requested resource is in use in the next screen, click the ports tab, and “Change Port Settings” Note: If you're using Windows 10, you may want to look at "How to Change Port Settings for Printers in Windows 10" Now you’ll have the configure port button that works. Just select your port and click “Configure Port” and you’ll have access to everything you expected. Hope that helps you out. I don’t know why they made the change, but we’ll just have to improvise, adapt, and overcome. MicrosoftServer-2008Windows Post

Reply MikeScott says: September 7, 2016 at 15:48 What OS / Printer and how is the printer connected? This was specific to an issue with Windows Server 2008 and a TCP/IP printer. Reply Jimmy says: June 9, 2015 at 05:10 Thanks. Worked fine. Reply MikeScott says: June 9, 2015 at 08:15 Glad it helped you out! Reply Tony says: July 16, 2015 at 00:17 Had a similar issue in 2012 R2. The solution is to not use the Control Panel app. Right click the start icon and select "Print Management" - it seems to start with admin rights and you can the delete ports etc that fail from the Control Panel Hope this helps someone out there Reply MikeScott says: July 16, 2015 at 08:56 Thanks for the feedback Tony! It looks like this method still works for Server 2012 R2 though. I tried your method, and when I right click on the start icon (orb) I don't have an "Print management" option in the menu. The server I was trying it on doesn't have any print server roles or features installed though. Reply carlos melgar says: December 1, 2015 at 20:47 Th

Working with the local Xerox printer tech, we got the driver installed on the server and tested printing. But he wanted to show me some things under the “Configure Port” option, but when we tried to do so, we got the following error message: An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied. I was stumped, as I knew we were logged on as an administrator. I even tried using Print Management service. I then found a helpful step-by-step solution to this problem over on the GeeksOnTech website.

Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement concordal Thread Starter Joined: Jun 22, 2009 Messages: 5 Yes, another user that can't print wirelessly! My Canon MP530 is connected via USB to a desktop PC running XP Pro. The printer is set to share, which is confirmed by Network Magic. My laptop, also XP Pro, connects wirelessly to a 2Wire modem. The Canon printer is shown as shared on the Laptop. The Network Magic troubleshooter reports that "This printer is available for printing from this computer." Here's what happens when I try to print from WordPad: I get the Print dialog box showing the Canon MP530. But when I click Print, nothing happens. Same with Print Preview in WordPad. Notepad isn't much better. In that case I get "The handle is invalid." A test print using the Printers and Faxes folder yields "Test page failed to print." The Printer Properties PORTS tab shows Canon MP530 on Port USB001, described as "Virtual printer port for USB." If I click on Configure Port, I get "An error occurred during port configuration. The operation is not supported." Here are some of the things that I have already tried: - Deleting and re-entering the share doesn't help. - Windows Firewall off on both machines - no difference - Anti-Virus off on both machines - no difference Any suggestions appreciated! concordal, Jun 22, 2009 #1 Sponsor thiyagu114 Joined: May 27, 2009 Messages: 63 Start --> Printers and Faxes --> Then, Right Click on your Canon MP530 and select it as Default printer. thiyagu114, Jun 22, 2009 #2 concordal Thread Starter Joined: Jun 22, 2009 Messages: 5 Thanks for the response. The Canon MP530 is already the default printer. For the sake of completeness I set the MS XPS Document Writer as the defualt and then re-set the Canon MP530 as the default. Still doesn't print. concordal, Jun 22, 2009 #3 TerryNet Terry Moderator Joined: Mar 23, 2005 Messages: 71,861 The Canon printer is shown as shared on the Laptop.Click to expand...
