Thank You, Thank You. I have worked with this problem for a week or at least
20 hours and your post got my network printer going. Why Microsoft did not
address this problem is a mystery to me because I have seen this problem in
several posts. I even emailed Microsoft on numerous occasions.


Thank you for sharing your solution but where did you get it from?
Not from this thread? ; )

They take this
program away from us in six months and charge us for the final release when
we busted our a** to work out the bugs for them. Go figure.

I have RC1 and have been trying to install a network printer and just get
"Windows Cannot Connect to the Printer. Operation could not be completed."
However I just got it working!!
I intalled it as a local printer. Then when asked to chose the printer port
I selected 'use an existing report' and one of the ports was the the path to
my network printer ie '\\front office\hp office (client side rendering
provider)'. I selected that and we're in business. Now I dont know (or
care!) how that how that port/path got there - whether it was from previous
XP install or if it came about by my previous attempts to add a netwrok
printer - but it is there and it works!

I don't mean to be critical, but I don't understand this. I am now testing
Vista RC1 Build 5728. As I have reported in the past, and have seen in
several posts you cannot add a network printer.
Why is this an issue and what is the resolution? Why hasn't someone
responded to this MAJOR problem?
