Printer Port Error "Cannot create a file when that file already exists"

If you are getting "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" when trying to create a printer port on windows by a specific name try a reboot. I had tried to find the port in WMI and the Registry thinking it got corrupted during an install but no luck finding it. Instead just a simple restart of the Machine solved it. (services restart of print spooler did not)

When I tried to create printer port GUI wizard and it would say complete but then it would problem a message box saying "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Posting this because I didn't find any results from Google on the issue. Ran into it using my powershell script to add printers.
