Can't add a network printer
Are you connecting to a printer shared by another machine? If so the print
driver on the other machine may not run on Vista. If the machine sharing the printer is XP, create a shared printer targeting LPT1 using any driver that ships with XP. The Agfa driver is fine. Connect to the print share from Vista. If this works fine then the issue is with the other share's print driver. In these cases, it's easiest just to add a Local Printer on the Vista that targets a Local Port in the form \\remotemachine\printshare and install the Vista driver for the device rather than attempt to install the Vista driver on the XP machine. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
