I want to add a TCP/IP printer but I am seem to be missing the
"Standard TCP/IP port" option in the drop-down list when adding
printer via local port. I have no idea why this is missing on this
machine. Is it a driver? How can I restore it?

Try here first:
How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375

Check your BIOS settings to see what it's set to. Without more info, I
can't go much farther than that.

What? In what way is my question deficient or unclear? What does this
have to do with the BIOS?

Look in the registry on a working machine and the afflicted machine.

Before making any changes to your registry, back it up with this
popular free tool:

http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/

If you have a working XP machine you can look at it and export this
registry key or create one just like it on your afflicted machine:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\

Add key: Standard TCP/IP Port:
Add String Value; value name=Driver; value data=tcpmon.dll

Under Standard TCP/IP Port:
Add Key: Ports

Add three Dwords in Ports (I am listing the values data in decimal)

LprAckTimeout value data= 180
StatusUpdateEnabled value data= 1
StatusUpdateInterval value data= 10

Stop and start the Print Spooler Service


Here is what mine looks like (watch the line wraps):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\control\print\monitors
\Standard TCP/IP Port]
"Driver"="tcpmon.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\control\print\monitors
\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports]
"StatusUpdateInterval"=dword:0000000a
"StatusUpdateEnabled"=dword:00000001
"LprAckTimeout"=dword:000000b4

Thanks but changing the registry to match (I only had to add the lpr
timeout) does not help. I will see if I can figure out if tcpmon.dll
is corrupt.
