Help, all my printer ports on my Win2k print server have gone missing.

Symptom: when I look at a printers properties and select the port tab, no
ports are listed.

I have 20 networked printers (Lexmark and HP) shared off this print server
using standard TCP/IP printing ports. The printers still work, we can still
print to them.

I checked the registry and all the print monitors are there as well as the
ports.

I can not add a printer cause I need to select a port to print to after I
add it. BUT ITS BLANK.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I don't seen any events in the even
viewer that could have caused this, but it could have happened alon
time ago, and I never noticed.

Thanks,
