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.
