Answer 1

Ok, late to the party, but I tried using Win11. And for me, as @Jay mentioned, run cmd as administrator and then

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /n /p "Ghostscript PDF PRINTER"

helped. Than my program was called when Printing to "Ghostscript PDF PRINTER" with redmon 1.9. Very nice.

Answer 2

Okay you need admin rights - edit port configuration using cmd as admin with command - printui.dll PrintUIEntry /p /n "printer name"

Answer 3

It is much better and more stable if you create a new port via "Print Management" of Windows, not via Printer Properties window
