HP CP4005 Network Install Problem

I had the PCL6 driver installed for my HP CP4005n color network printer. I needed to install the older PCL5 driver for the extra trays I installed to work properly (apparently there is a glitch in the 6). I installed this with no error on 30 other computers on the network.

However, on one computer funning XP, I am getting an error after the installer detects the printer and installs the driver: "Operation could no be completed. The specified port is unknown. "

I have tried to uninstall the old driver and reboot to no avail. It will not install manually because it will not find the printer nor accept the IP address of the printer.

Here is the error log:

What should I try next?

 

have you check the device manager for any problems? IRQ conflicts or what... or any software installed on that pc that is messing up with your installation..

 

Yes, in fact, this problem with a network is on no thread searchable in google.

 

did you use the setup file to install the printer driver? or you tried to install it manually and choose the INF file?

if you check your error log it says:
WARNING: Unable to get Driver Type (<driver_type>) from settings file. Using default type Printer.

 

I tried both ways. I tried disabling all programs connected to the server as well.
