Somehow someone was on my print server and made some changes or added some software. I found that the "HP Universal Print Monitor" was my only other choice besides Local Port when I went to add a new printer on my 2012 print server"Standard TCP/IP Port" was gone. I ended removing this from the registry (see below) as I could not find any other way to uninstall it. After this was removed I did reboot and I can still add a normal Standard TCP/IP Port under print management in the ports section but this option is gone in the drop down when you add a printer under printers.
Any idea how to get this option back into the drop down list?
HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Print\MONITORS\HP Universal Print Monitor
