I used to have two desktops A & B, they have internet sharing and printer sharing , they were working fine.

Desktop A XP Professional SP2 PC has got two printers (HP and Samsung) connected directly (USB cable), and Printer sharing is turned on .

I bought another Desktop to replace B, because B is an old PC.

From the Desktop B, when attempting to chose the option :

Code :
  1. A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer



to add a shared printer , I can browse and see the printers name (hp and Samsung), however, when I attempt to
connect both of them, I get the following error :

Code :
  1. cannot connect to the printer operation could not be completed error



Do I need to have admin account with their passwords on both Desktop to be able to share the printers ?

Is your B printer running Vista by any chance?

It certainly sounds like it is to me. Anyway try and install the printer locally on a local port for your B PC (My guess Vista). If it is vista you will need the vista drivers but evern if XP do the sam ebut with XP drivers. See if this works I presume it will. Once corectly installed change the port to your network sharename. I.e. \\PCname\printersharename
