If the printer associated with the port is no longer present in devices and printers, then open printmanagement.msc. (You can find it quickly by typing it in the search box in the start menu.) Look around in there and you should be able to find and delete it. If you have a document on Windows 7 that you want to print, and the printer is connected to an XP computer on the network:

However, I'm still having a problem connecting to an HP Laserjet 1320 that's available via a Win XP client. I see the computer when I activate the Network icon, but when I double click on it, I get the message "Windows cannot access \\", and running the Troubleshooting utility doesn't rectify things either. What's interesting is that I am able to connect to another XP client which also has a 1320 printer attached, and it works fine, so I'm thinking there's something with the original XP client that needs tweaking. Any ideas? Hi there, great writeup, thank you. However, I’m still having a problem connecting to an HP Laserjet 1320 that’s available via a Win XP client.

I had to manually install the printer, despite the fact that windows 7 automatically added the printer as described in your article. thank you I spent 3 hours trying to get the Windows 7 machine to print to the printer connected to my XP machine.
