Default Windows can't open Add Printer (0x000000c1)


I have Vista Home Premium running on my laptop. I have an HP C5280
All-in-One printer on a desktop Vista machine. When I go through the
control panel to printers and select "add printer", I get this error
message:

Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed
(error 0x000000c1)

What is going on? Thanks!

I have followed Bruce Sanderson's "Clean Printer Drivers" instructions
(note: the script does not work on Vista but I followed his
instructions on manually editing the registry) and I still get the same
error message!

Any other suggestions?

Hi akr, just wondering did you goto start-control panel-classic
view-printers then right click anywhere on a blank area and select-run as
administrator- then add printer?

Okay, I tried the run as... suggestion. This time I received a
"printui.exe - Bad image" error message. It states:
C:\Windows\system32\tcpmonui.dll is either not designed to run on
Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again
using the original installation media or contact your sys admin.

Hmm, where does the system get tcpmonui.dll ? Please don't say I have
to reinstall Vista! *smile*

tcpmonui.dll is a Microsoft system file for the Standard TCP/IP port monitor

If your home machine is 64bit and you installed some vendor 32bit software,
it's possible they replaced the file without verifying the OS architecture.

Maybe you could try and do a system restore to a date earlier then when the
32 bit software was installed.

Did you install the original software and drivers that came with your
printer.
