"there is not enough memory to complete" with shared printer
I'm trying to install a printer on Vista Ultimate RTM. The printer (a
samsung SCX-4100) is shared by a windows 2003 server. When I try to install, I get the error: "windows cannot connect to the printer. There is not enough memory to complete" I've tried to manually install the driver, or install the printer as local printer, and all is ok. But I need to connecto to the remote printer, and I cannot. Sure the problem is in Vista, because from other PCs with XP all works. What can I do? thanks |

See if the "More Information" section of
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=280830 helps. -- Bruce Sanderson MVP Printing http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

"there is not enough memory to complete" with shared printer
See http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterNoPP.htm for a possible
workaround. Since you have already installed the printer locally, a variation of this workaround is: 1. click Start, Printers 2. click File, Run as Administrator, Server Properties (click Continue or provide administrative credentials) 3. select the Ports tab 4. click Add Port 5. select Local Port; click New Port 6. in the "Port Name" box, key the UNC name of the Samsung SCX-4100 printer as defined on the Windows 2003 server - e.g. \\printservername\printersharename; click OK; click Close; click Close (close the Print Server Properties window) 7. in the Printers window, right click on the Samsung printer you installed locally and select Properties 8. select the Ports tab 9. click on the Port you just added (e.g. \\printservername\printersharename) to add a check mark. The check mark that was in LPT1 (or whatever port was previously selected) will be automatically removed. 10. click OK -- Bruce Sanderson MVP Printing http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

The solution is to install the Vista drivers for your printer on the Vista
machine and then connect to the printer. You may have to acutally install the printer on the vista machine and then remove it and connect via the network. "Trapulo" wrote: Great! This worked!
