| | Error 0x000003eb connecting to shared printer on a different domai Hello, I'm getting an error 0x000003eb when trying to connect to a printer that is connected and shared on a computer that is located on a different domain. My laptop is part of a domain also, just not the domain that has the printer. The printer is on a Windows XP Professional workstation. It's a HP LaserJet 4050. My laptop is Windows Vista Ultimate with every single patch installed. Exact error message is: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003eb). Any help would be appreciated... I've tried all the usual things that I could think of, even messing with the UAC. I am able to do a net view \\netBIOS_Name and a dir \\netBIOS_Name\Print$ Bradley |

This one is a Toshiba e-STUDIO45 network copier configured to print over a network via a print server (all connected using IP). It sounds like "No NTSTATUS matched" relates to the driver not being happy when it checks the version of Windows, is that a correct statement? Thanks in advance, Lee Emmert |
