Cannot add network printer windows 7


















Full details in this MS support document:. Ok so using Michael's link I was able to get the printer added and I don't get the error message anymore.. Now my issue is it just doesn't print from the client.. I see the job spool temporarily and on the server I see the files get added to the spooler directory but it never prints.. You see what I mean in the screenshot.. The files are still in the spool directory it's been over 10 minutes but the job doesn't show in the print queue..

I agree with matt, when we first started using Windows 7 in our production environment, we had a few incompatibility issues because win7 uses different protocols by default. I also remember having to disable IPv6 because SBS didn't natively support it and windows 7 defaulted to it.

Btw, in the KB article, the reference to the server print server would include using winXP as a print server as they are based on the same kernel.

IIRC windows only adds the sub-keys that it needs. If it doesn't have any values to add to a sub-key it won't create it until it needs to. The article says you need to add the DWORD value, it says nothing about needing to add the printer subkey.. I have added it and I'm waiting to hear back from the client if it fixed it. I don't get it.. I have 3 other computers printing fine to it but this Windows7 one will not work!

Is this machine connected to a domain and the user with user permissions is trying to install a network printer? A error occurs, permissions denied? A security policy needs to be changed to allow users to be permitted to install network printers drivers without elevation. I had a similar machine, but turned out it was because i was using the wrong driver to connect, the error message was quite misleading.

I hope this solves! Also what is the server? This worked for me. I was trying to connect a label printer attached to Windows xp bit to Windows 7 bit , over the network. Does anyone have the answer for my delima? I have a windows 7 machine, I have the ip address of another windows 7 machine that I would like to install a printer on. I click on start, then run, then I add the ip address of the remote computer.

The computer shows up, and on the task bar, one of the tabs says View a remote printer , I click there and I get the add printer tab. As soon as I click this tab I receive an error message stating that I don't have sufficient rights to perform this operation. I am a domain admin as well as an admin of this machine. This use to work seamlessly in windows Xp but windows 7 doesn't even give you the option to install as an admin.
