Configuring Callisto
During the installation phase of Callisto, a virtual port is created in the Windows

Printer Properties Ports tab. This virtual port is, in effect, a dummy port that tells Windows

currently running, Callisto Configuration Manager will have to be refreshed before any
newly created printers are visible.
