I get to: Add Web Printer Connection: "Do you want to add a printer connection to http://www.server.com/printers/HP001/.printer?" I then get Printer Installation. Checking network connection... " Printer Installation Failed. The printer name is invalid. " NOTE : In VISTA Pc I use an account with Administrator privileges, not the Administrator account, but in both cases it does not work ... Any help ???  Signaturedanicubos http://forums.techarena.in I hit this when protected mode is forced On by our domain policy. You can add the printer using Add Priner when you run As administrator.
