Full error message: "windows cannot connect to the printer. either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printerhas lost its connection to the server."
Windows XP Pro, IBM ThinkPad laptop, TCP/IP network, AD.
I can see the printer, I can ping the server it's on, but as soon as I try to connect to or add the printer, I get the Windows error windows "cannot connect to the printer. either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printerhas lost its connection to the server."
The print spooler service is running, I have a local admin account. This used to work fine; unfortunately I don't know exactly when it stopped working to determine what changes I made that may have caused this.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
