Printer Configure Port Error
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 an error occurred during port configuration this operation is not supported windows 7 or delete a port, right? One of my favorite sayings is that the only constant an error occurred during port configuration this operation is not supported windows 10 is change. The first time I ran into this one, it drove me a little batty. I’ve been configuring shared printers on error occurred during port configuration windows 10 TCP/IP ports for years, and never had a machine give me this error. Well, Microsoft changed this one on me. The solution is to close the Printer properties dialog, then in the “Device and Printers” window, an error occurred during port configuration operation could not be completed highlight the printer you want to change, and click on “Print Server Properties” in the menu bar. Then 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

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!

An Error Occurred During Port Configuration Access Is Denied
a bit to cover my hosting costs. You may find, as I have done configure port operation not supported windows 10 recently, that a network printer installed on a Windows Vista starts suddenly showing as Offline even when other machines on an error occurred during port configuration the requested resource is in use 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 http://www.geeksontech.com/an-error-occurred-during-port-configuration-access-is-denied/ far simpler - but also slightly strange… It turns out that Windows Vista automatically enables SNMP support 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 http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-fix-a-network-printer-suddenly-showing-as-offline-in-windows-vista/comment-page-2/ 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) 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 Win
