Add Print Wizard - Not there

[Thom]

I have been looking all over for a fix for this and can't
seem to find one, short of possible installing XP all over
again. However, I have no problem printing from
applications or choosing the printer I want from the
application. Everything else seems normal. Go figure. I
need to change a port setting and the only way yu can do
this is from "properties" in the Printers and Fax. Now
what do I do. I there an alternative way, that I do not
notice. Thanks for the reply.
