This is odd as hell, my vista laptop all out of the blue stopped recognizing my printer, the printer is installed in a windows 2003 server, its shared and declared as the predetermined printer, so, ive been reading all the workarounds here, none seem to work.
When i try to use the wizard, vista wizard asks me to log in using the server credentials.
So i select second choice, printer by name, i write “\\myservername\Printersharename” first time i did this, it popped the window to ask me, to Identify myself, i did and could print, but since the error i cant do it, now just throws an error window 0x0000052e.
I went to the Vista control panel to change the domain name to match the one that my server shows, so far so good, but, then again, i go back to add a printer in Vista, and the same error happens, then i go to the wizard again, look for a printer, next, choose the server where the printer is installed, and to my surprise now asks me to ID myself, i chose the use another user option, and start writing, MYDOMAIN\SERVERNAME\USERNAME and then i enter my password, all to no avail.
Its not like i have any problems accesing it by network, i can even remote access it.
But whenever i try to write my server name in a window, like \\servername the machine asks me to Identify myself.
And same darn story happens, i cant access it, and it wasnt this painful the first time i did it!
Any ideas of what can be done?
Thank you.
