Try adding the printer this way:
1. Go to Add a Printer wizard
2. Tell the wizard it is a local printer
3. On the page that asks you to choose the port, select the
create a port option and leave the choice as "local port"
4. In the give the port a name box that appears, type in
\\computername\printersharename putting in the appropriate names
5. Finish the wizard in the normal way by selecting a printer
from Windows' list or providing a disk with drivers.
This procedure worked for me when I ran into the same problem.
I hope it helps you, too.
