Hi, have a shared printer (HP940C) on my WIN ME desktop machine. Has been
working fine until I replaced my laptop that had XP with a new one with
VISTA. I see the shared desktop and see the printer, but when I try and
connect to it, I get an error box ( Windows cannot connect to the printer.
Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000866)

This post may help. Please post back with the result.
