I'm trying to add a network printer in Vista that is a secure printer. I was
able to add the printer with XP SP2 on two different computers and now when I
try to add the printer, it tells me the printer cannot be found.

It is a secure printer, so when I added the printer with XP, a
login/password dialog box showed up. Any help would be appreciated. I'm
beginning to think this is a bug as I could connect a different IPP printer
that was not secure.

Thanks,

Jamie

Try adding the printer logged as an administrator.

I am an administrator. This is my own box. I got a version of Vista
Business from our schools MSDN. I can add the printer even not as an admin
on XP. It's not an admin thing, Vista can not even connect to the printer
properly.

Vista unless you have fiddled with the registry runs admin accounts most of
the time as a standard account
open a command line and try and run chkdsk and you will see what I mean

Its a permissions problem it expects you to supply a user name and password
for the network even if there is none
