| | Bug in Vista if adding some Local Port Hi, I am not able to add a printer on a local port. Actually if I am trying to create a local port and giving the name as LPT4, an error message is popping up on the screen saying 'LPT4 is not a valid port number'. Actually I am having two PCI based parallel port cards and Windows has assigned them LPT2, LPT3, LPT4 and LPT5. LPT1 is assigned to Standard on-board Port. But if I'm trying to add a printer on LPT4 port, I need to make a local port with that name, but I am getting this error. And one thing more, if I'm giving the port name as LPT10 and above, its working fine and creating the port successfully. So, I would like to know is this the bug in Vista?? or Vista dont allow user to create port with these names. And the same thing I tried with Windows XP, its working fine and I am able to create and add both ports (LPT4 and LPT5) using Add Printer wizard. So I want to know is there any solution to this or is it the limitation in Windows Vista that user cannot create a local port named as LPT4 or something like that. Regards, Anuj |
