Default Unable to connected to shared printer in Vista, XP works ok

I have a print server in an Active Directory environment. I had
successfully added printers to all of the workstations in our
department both XP and Vista. This week; however, we are not able to
print from any of our Vista workstations. I have rolled back all MS
Updates for the server and the Vista workstations to no avail. This
was working last week. Below is the error I receive when attempting to
connect to one of the shared printers on the server.

Windows cannot connect to the printer.
Operation could not be completed (error
0x0000003).

Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

After some additional research I was able to locate a solution to my
problem at the following website. I used the "New Port" option and it
worked great.
