Unanswered Windows 7 Printer Ports Missing

    This issue manifested when I installed the latest Win 7 update files. The problem is related to using a W2k3 SP2 print server and a Windows 7 Pro workstation. A dll file called PHPZPNP.dll was recently loaded when a HP LJ 4014n printer was installed on the network. The result of the two above actions has made the workstation spooler instable. The cause is more than likely a conflict with the asynchronsis RPC in the Windows 7 machine not playing nice with the W2K3 SP2 print server. I have tried deleting this dll, editing the HKLM spooler driver 3 location as per a possible fix  and nothing has helped. I can delete all the printer and re-install them (via GPO) and I get the same problem. When this happens an I go to check any network printer and look at Ports I see not a one. I bounce the spooler and the ports come back - for a short time (2 mins) then the spooler stops the ports go away and I'm back where I began. I'd love to up-grade my print server to W2K8, but that is not possible at this time.

    I need a way to fix this issue before I start to roll out 100+ windows 7 clones. Please help me!
