I even left the value as “printername, winspool, portname” without inserting my actual printername, winspool, or portname. I suspect a minor-ly faulty installation caused this. Also I am using XP x64. This worked for me. I even left the value as “printername, winspool, portname” without inserting my actual printername, winspool, or portname.
