I installed a printer, added local port \\computer\printer it printed fine.
Reboot vista, printer is offline and when you go into ports the port I just added \\computer\printer is totally gone and no ports are checked for the printer.
I tried adding a different printer, different drivers added a new but fictional local port, rebooted exact same thing. The port is not listed under ports tab in printer properties.
Also when I go to add the same printer port again it tells me it already exists even though it's not listed under ports.
If I remove the port from the registry and reboot I can add the port again and print until I reboot, same thing happens.
