What is RawPort?

What ho one and all,

Having difficulty getting my HP4050n to work with W7, but that has been solved by using LPT3 rather than the default LPT1. However, in my attempts to install the driver, W7 has created an 'unspecified' device, namely MS RawPort.

There are no removal options, left click on has Troubleshoot, Create Shortcut and Properties.

What is it; do I need it and if not how do I remove it?

Thanks and toodle pip

Did you google-> MS RawPort

Indeed I did! The RawPort removal results are not very enlightening but there are a couple of methods that will try; including a reg hack.

May have to do a Restore Point but I have added more software since than and don't know when RawPort was created.
