Why can't I delete a network printer port??

Question

I cannot remove a network printer port on windows XP. I am logged in as an administrator, I have tried right clicking on any space on printer properties -> server properties -> ports tab and then try and delete a port but it will not let me. Sometime this works and somethime it does not. Can anyone explain why? Is there a way to force XP to delete using command line?
