Add New Printer Error - Specified Port cannot be added. Unable to complete operation

Interesting. What is the name of the local port you're trying to add ?

From what I'm hearing from certain people ... XP Home Edition is so crippled
that adding a local port is not possible.... I certainly hope that this is
not true.... if this is the case - our software cannot support XP Home
Edition - plain and simple...

This is not true.

Well - I wonder why the problem??

The other day I wrote something using XcvData and ran it - after this I
could add local printers - but this morning - deleted the old printer ports
I had added and went to add them again - no way....

I also made sure to turn on as many services as possible on - nothing....

Is there anyways to get an answer as to why this problem would occur?
