Cannot add networked printer to 2008 Server. Error 0x00000216

0

The printer is a Zebra LP 2844-z. The machine with the printer connected to it is a Windows 7 64bit. Both x86 and x64 drivers are installed. I'm trying to connect it to a Windows 2008 32bit server and I keep getting.

Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000216).

Any ideas?

The work around was to:

  1. Create a local port named \\pcname\sharename
  2. Then add the printer using that port.
