I have tried all of those options and still recieve the same error message. I have actually tried to share the printer from the desktop and then the laptop.

Just to recap:

1) I am typing in the share correctly (The actual share name is \\Curtis\Lexmark)

2) I did attempt to add the port by running the Add Printer as Administrator option and recieved the same error.

3) I added an account on my PC the same as name as the laptop. I would like to use the same account from the seperate PC but that does not appear to be an option.

Thanks again,
sdogg

Oh I can access folders and files on the PC with the printer just cant add the printer.

The format of the Local Port is \\MachineName\printsharename

Make sure there are no spaces in the name you are using for the share.

Since you are getting an Access Denied error you might as well run Add
Printer with administrative credentials rather than user credentials and see
if that allows the port creation.

Right click Add Printer, select Run as administrator.

I'd also add a user account with the same password on the Desktop machine
that matches the Laptop user.
