Hi Alan,
In the Add Printer window, my printer is shown. I attempt to connect to it
and receive the following error: [Connect To Printer] Windows cannot connect
to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000046a)
If I attempt to set up a New Printer, Local Printer, New Port,
\\computername\printername, I receve the following error: [Local Port] Not
enough server storage is available to process this command.
I don't if I mentioned, but I can see my shared files and folders on the XP
machine and have no problems accessing the files.
Thanks,
