delete printer

[Guest]

Ultimately I'm trying to setup my windows xp printer to a network. In doing
so I deleted my HP printer from the PC . I went to the "Printer and Faxes"
screen and clicked Add printer". The "add Printer Wizard" is displayed. I
click Local Printer attached . . . ", I leave "Automatically detected and
install my plug-and-play printer" blank and click "next". I say I want to
"create a new port"and input "standard tcp/ip port" and click Next". This
brings up the Add Standard TPC/IP Port Wizard. I click :next" and input the
generic 10.0.1.1 and click "next". It gives me the "error" saying "a port
with that name already exists". Since I've done this several times before I
know it already exists, but because of this I can't create the new port and
the printer doesn't get installed(ie: show-up on the Printer and Faxes
screen. What do I have to do to get the printer installed on that IP port.
I'm a little frustrated since I've been trying to get my PC to print on the
network for about 2 weeks!

Add Printer, Local Printer, Use the following port: (select the port you
previously created rather than create a new port).

You can also create a port and change the name so it does not duplicated the
previous port name.

Alan, thanks for your response. I stated my goal incorrectly. My network
currently exists with myiMac having a wireless connectionand the printer
plugged-in to the router. So, to restte my "ultimate goal", I want to setup
my PC so I can use the network printer.

In regards tomy problem, I have gotten past my last problem. I found out
how to delete the IP port, and was able to re-add the IP port. That allowed
me to get to the point of re-adding the printer. Unfortunately, the list of
printers does not include mine (HP Officejet 6210xi). I updated the list
with a download from HP of software and drivers, but it didn't find a match;
however, it allowed me to continue anywayeven though that doing so could
cause future printer problems. After continuing, it could not find one of
the drivers "hpzinc09.dll". How dio I get the printer installed.

However, if I solve this problem I have no guarntee it will allow me to
print to my network printer.

I hope this clears-up my problem.

Yes you will need to get the HP driver installed before you can send
anything to the device. HP should be able to determine what the issue is
regarding the driver installation. I assume you downloaded the XP driver.

I was unable to find the3 XP driver. HOWEVER, I was able to solve the whole
problem by purchasing and installing the new HP Officejet 6310xi. It is
setup to work on a network. What happened was I installed the enw printer on
my wireless network (ie: to my iMac). I then executed the software to
install the printer on my network (the PC is wired to the network). When
installing, it said the PC was not aware of any printer. It then told me to
input the name of the printer,its IP address, or its MAC. I had already
supplied the printer name so I found the Printer IP address, input that on
the PC screen (installation screen) and WALA! it found the printer.
Missioned accomplished. I didn't know that the PC needed the IP address. My
reason for getting the new 4-in-1 printer was that because it was "compatible
to a network, I am able to use all 4 funtions; with the other printer I
wouldn't be able to use the scanner or fax. Now my son has a printer when he
goes to college.

Thanks alot for your help.
