When trying to add a printer manually, lpt1 does not show
as a viable option. Printer was installed and working,
but customer deleted application that used printer by
removing the folder, not using the add/remove option. Now
when trying to add new printer, lpt1 does not show as a
port option. Registry hack to fix? If so, what keys?
 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\PORTS
It's a REG_SZ string
LPT1:

Did a driver remove these during the install/uninstall process? Normally
there is LPT1:, LPT2: LPT3: and COM1 to COM4 that the spooler adds on
Intel/AMD based Pentium class systems
