No TCP/IP port option when adding printer 1

[optecboy]

I'm trying to add a printer in XP. I click Local printer and make sure the auto detect box is unchecked, and when I go to the next screen I click the "create a new port" dot but the drop-down menu only gives me a local port option, not the standard tcp/ip option... Any ideas on how to get that back so we can add the printer?

Thank you for the help. I followed the information on that link and it helped restore the Standard TCP/IP selection.
