 | Canon Pixma Mx850 by enduroman (6/7/08 10:54 AM) reply | + / - | I am trying to install a new printer Canon Pixma mx850 to work in network mode. When i get near the end of the install. I get an eror message. To setup this printer for network operations you have to connect it initially via USB and then with a network cable. It is after i am asked to connect the network cable that i get the followingf message.
New Port could not be created
It seems to create the port using a drive letter. I try to change the drive letter and still get the same problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Apparently the problem was that the port already existed. You can remove this by using a program on the installation CD: \LAN\ENGLISH\CNMNPU.EXE
After that you can reinstall the printer via the network tool or by using CD: \LAN\ENGLISH\SETUP.EXE

If your network has a DHCP server, the printer will receive an IP address. If you have manual IP addresses you can give it one close to your printers IP address.
Then open the Canon IJ Network Tool and search for the printer. You should then see the printer with the port name
CNBJNP_xxxxxxxxxxxx
where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC address.
You should then see the printer under Start-Settings-Printers.
Are you sure that the error message that you received about not being able to create a new port did not come from not having a memory disc in the slot. The software attempts to map this with a drive letter. If you have nothing in the slot then you can click on cancel or skip.

I just found your post and followed your advice. It helped me fix the error "New port could not be created" I was getting as I was setting up a second laptop to use with Canon Pixma MX860. THANK YOU!!!

 | Re: Canon Pixma Mx850 by Cghost (5/23/09 9:37 PM) reply | + / - | Another way of fixing it is by right-clicking to properties for one of your other printers (or microsoft fax, or anything in your printer folder).. Select the ports screen then delete the IP port.. I don't know if I remember the steps right but as long as you can locate the ports selection for any printer you should be able to delete it then re-run the network setup for Canon printers..
