the error I am getting is: (regardless if automatic or manual install)

There was a problem installing this hardware

(Printer name)

An werror occurred during the installation of the device

The specified port is unknown.

I've even turned off my LPT & COM ports to see if this will stop the install.

Checking the box "do not ask again" does not work and nothing shows up on
the device manager.

I've run antivirus, spyware, ad-aware, etc to no avail
