Adding a networked printer on Vista x86 box jcash101808[ at ]gmail.com 12/18/2008 8:59:09 PM I manage our network print server which has about 300 or so printers. I have noticed that for a few of them, when trying to connect to them (\\servername\device name), I get an "Operation Cannot Be Completed" error. I can add them with a local IP port and they work fine, but not for the queue from the server. This does not affect every printer, just a few random ones, over a few manufacturer models (HP, Canon, Dell). Does anyone out there have an idea about this?

Re: Adding a networked printer on Vista x86 box "Alan Morris [MSFT]" <alanmo[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 12/19/2008 7:35:47 PM Is there a Vista compatible driver installed on the print server? If you are using Server 2003 inbox drivers these will work. Is the same driver version in use when you attempt to add the connection as the one installed when adding the IP local printer. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. <jcash101808[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:ec090756-ad23-4bce-a88c-3501c29b9a40[ at ]h5g2000yqh.googlegroups.com...
