I am trying to connect a workstation to a shared network printer on SBS2003. The printer shows up in the directory but when I attempt to connect it I get an error message stating that there is a problem with the printer. All of the other workstations on the network connected with no problems. I am fairly certain that it is a security setting somewhere but I'm not having any luck figuring it out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

what error message do you receive..

and is this workstation the same o/s as the others?

All of the workstations are running XP. the exact wording of the error message is: "Unable to add the printer connection. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server." This happens even though all of the other work stations print fine.

well, looks like this would possibly be a printer configuration issue, if you have plugged in the tcp/ip setting correct then you should be fine, Make sure that u get all the fields correct for the ip settings.

hope this helps!
