Connecting to network printer
I am trying to connect to a network printer from my laptop with Vista
operating system. The printer (Lexmark 5200 series) is conected by USB cable
to my desktop with XP operating system. I keep getting this error message
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed
(error 0x0000000d)."
I have set up the network, configures my Firewall (Norton 360) and can file
share and also 'see' the printer. I have downloaded the Vista driver for the
printer and the printer works when using the USB connection. I have reviewed
lots of 'threads' on this issue and tried all the suggestions including
ammending the registry as per Microsoft error messages. Furthermore after I
have tried (unsuccessfully) to 'Add the Printer' I cannot communicate with
the printer when it is connected directly to my laptop. To remedy this I have
to uninstall the printer, run Lexmark cleanuputility and then reinstall the
driver. Can anybody shed some light on this thorny problem?
