Vista - Cannot print to a networked printer

I was able to install a networked printer to my Vista Ultima machine.
However, when I try to print the test page, it reports "Test page failed to
print. ... Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007a)." FYI, I am
able to print to the printer using another XP computer.

Could you help me to solve the issue?

Thanks,

This issue has been hit previously but the poster never informed us what
type of printer they have. What is yours?

Can you setup a 'fake" printer on the XP machine that uses an inbox driver
and successfully make a connection from the Vista machine?"

Yes. I saw this previous post.

The printer is Canon imageRUNNER 3300.

I cannot conduct the test since my Vista machine cannot access the XP one.

Thanks,

OK. I find a way to circumvent the problem.

Previously, I added the printer using \\servername\printername, which does
not work.

But the printer Canon imageRUNNER 3300 is connected to the network with its
own IP. So I added the printer using its IP address. Now I can print to it
successfully.
