Re: Delete LPT1 Parallel Port
Open the motherboard BIOS and you can disable it.

I have a Thinkpad T60p that ships without a parallel port. As a result I get
the following error message in Event Viewer:
"The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following
error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it
has no enabled devices associated with it."
Since I have no parallel port I want to disable or remove the parallel port
service mentioned above. In Printmanagement.msc it will no allow me to
delete that Lpt1 port. Any suggestions to stop Vista from trying to use a
parallel port that does not exist?
