| | Connect to printer error I have Canon MP460. 2 comps in same workgroup with Vista 32 home. When I try to connect to printer from other computer I get an error: "Windows cannot connect to printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000012)." Canons customer support says its Windows error and they does not support network connections. Googling situation gives no relevant results ...  Any help appreciated. Thanks. |
