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.

We have a W2K3 Printer server on which some HP 4000n are installed.

I just recently purchased 2 HP computers for work and they both have Vista Business installed. The server we have is SBS 2003 RC1 and it has a shared fax which all of our XP Pro machines connect through without a problem. I cannot connect Vista Fax and Scan to the shared fax to send faxes but the XP machines work just fine. Any Ideas would be appreciated. -- _________ Andrew
