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.

have done recently, that a network printer installed on a Windows Vista starts suddenly showing an error occurred during port configuration access is denied windows 7 as Offline even when other machines on the network can access it fine. I originally thought it would be an IP address issue, but an error occurred during port configuration the requested resource is in use 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 for networked printers, and if it http://kwsupport.com/2015/12/error-occurred-during-port-configuration-access-is-denied/ 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 don't. My printer (a fairly old Lexmark T640) http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-fix-a-network-printer-suddenly-showing-as-offline-in-windows-vista/comment-page-2/ 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 it keeps going offline again then editing the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print and adding a new DWORD called SNMPLeg
IP address of my network shared printer. When I have done this in the past it has been straight forward but it looks like Server 2008 R2 had different plans for me I went into the printer properties: selected the ports tab and found http://blacktheman.blogspot.com/2011/11/access-denied-message-when-changing.html the port I wanted to change: Now, as I have done many times in the past I clicked "Configure Port" ready to enter the new IP only to be met with: "An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied." Its the same for deleting the port. That seems very much like a UAC related error with me not being elevated, no worries I'll just elevate myself - easy. Not quite, the run as administrator isn't on the printer error occurred context menu: and the normal trick of holding down Shift while right clicking doesn't give additional options either. Anyway, lets skip past the next 15mins of blank looks at the screen and I'll give you the magic rune needed here, its annoyingly simple and looks like it will take you to the same dialog, but it is actually subtly different. When you highlight the printer the explorer task bar context changes offering you options specific to that object. Click error occurred during on the "Print Server Properties" button on the explorer task bar: This takes you to an almost identical menu as the printer properties but has the all important elevate button on the ports page allowing you to make the change: access denied message when changing printer port Posted by The Black Man at 11/18/2011 12:56:00 pm Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest 1 comment: Miko21 April 2016 at 21:32YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! Thank you for giving us this! Would it REALLY have cost them so much in development to put a hint? Seeing as "cfg port" has been the way ports have been converted for 25 years, it could have been a good idea.ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...
