| Vista Ultimate x64 | Can't install any printer, used to work Hi, I'm using vista ultimate x64, and no matter what printer i try to add, whether it be local port or network, or different brands of printers, none work and all come up with the 0x000005b3 error: this operation cannot be completed. I started having this problem after I had a power outage, but since then i have done sfc and chkdsk and fixed everything, except for this one problem. I really don't want to reinstall windows just to fix this problem, so if anyone has a solution, please tell me. |

| | Re: Can't install any printer, used to work this is a very odd error. Do you get this error if you select the inbox Apollo driver to LPT1:?
