I’m having difficulty with installing a network printer in Visa Business. If
I select Add Printer > Add a network printer > The printer that I want isn’t
listed > Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname, and enter the IP
address of the printer, I get the message “Cannot load wizard pages for
standard TCP/IP port,†which doesn’t allow me to install the printer.

If I install the printer to the LPT1 port and then select Add Port, I don’t
have an option for adding a TCP/IP port.
 
I was having this type of problem also. I had a laptop with Vista Home
Premium, laptop with Win XP Pro and the desktop/printer controller
with WIN XP Pro all connected through a Linksys Router Wireless.
I had to finally turn off the firewall's I had on all three computers,
got the printers setup and now all is fine.
I am not sure this will work for you, but it is a suggestion.

I found that the registry key for “Standard TCP/IP Ports†was missing. Once
this was added back, everything was fine.
 
Hello Cozmic One,
Could you please give details on how to do this? Where do you find
this registry key?
Thanks very much.
