| | Can't connect to printers on Intel print servers I have a local network that has severial Intel NetPort Express 10/100 print servers connected to it. I have severial computers running Windos 98 and XP Pro, these computers are all able to talk to the printers connected to the servers. I recently added a computer running Vista to the network and am not able to connect to any of the printers on the servers. When you go the printer window and select Add a printer, the Add Printer window comes up and I select add a network printer it searches for the printers and all of the printers on the print servers show up in the window. If I select any of the printers and select next I get a popup window that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0X0000084f)." I receive the same message no matter what printer I select. Does anyone know what this message means and how I can connect to the printers on the print servers. I can log onto the servers with IE using there IP addresses and see all of the configuration information. The work group name on all the computers and print servers is WORKGROUP. |
