I changed my two printers to their own ports of 64 and 65. Nothing but problems since. How can I undo this action? Deleting the port doesn't seem to work and we are printer dependent for our work. Help.

    Hello,

    You can try the following steps:

    1. Open the "Devices and Printers" window in the Control Panel.
    2. Right-click on the printer that you want to reset and select "Printer Properties".
    3. Click on the "Ports" tab.
    4. Select the original port that the printer was using before you changed it.
    5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

    If this doesn't work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers. You can do this by going to the "Devices and Printers" window, right-clicking on the printer, and selecting "Remove device". Then, download and install the latest drivers from the printer manufacturer's website.

    I hope the above information can help you!

    Best regards
