Printer ports dissappear in Windows 7
I have two different (but related?) problems. I. The most severe occurs on one machine (32-bit) dedicated to automatic pdf creation: - The pdf process prints to "local port" = file locations on the C:\ drive (postscript files) When the machine restarts (or the spooler service is restarted) all custom defined local ports disappear. Standard ports prevail. When inspecting registry no changes are discovered. All port, printer etc information is exactly as before. II. The other problem shows up on W7 machines (both 32 and 64 bit) with network printers. Randomly these printers loose all their ports, and the port list is no longer accessible for adding new ports. I have to remove all network printers and add them from scratch. Then everything works for a while.
