Windows cannot connect to network printer
I am trying to add a printer that is on my network, windows XP is the host
computer, to my lap top Vista. I get the error "Cannot connect to printer. Operation could not be completed error x000000d." I used to be able to print to this printer from my lap top, but something happened to the network and I couldn't find the host computer. So I changed the name and then I could share files from the host computer. But now I can't print anymore. So I removed old printers. Added new print driver for my printer. And then tried to add the printer but get the above error. I followed suggestion of article 947234 in the microsoft database, don't know if I did it right or not, but it didn't work. Still got the error. I also read some other suggestions of making the printer a local printer, but I don't understand how to do that. So if you could give me more detailed instructions that would be helpful.
