0x0000046a error code when trying to connect to a printer on a network and share

I can't connect to a shared printer in the network (on a computer running Windows XP) with my laptop that is running Windows 7. The laptop can find the printer but returns a "failed to connect, the operation failed with error 0x0000046a.

On a separate similar network setup (same model printer attached to a computer which is running XP), the connection works perfectly.

The program installation, above, which gives the printer connect error worked well, until I had a failure to drive on the XP machine and restored the (previously saved) XP operating system. I deleted the printer both XP and Windows 7 computer portable machine and more, but still not the same error.

This utility is completely useless. He tries the 'Add printer' Wizard, reached the error and give up, with no details except the error number.

Can someone help me?

Thank you, jsmith33

  • 0xe0000100 error code when you try to manually install printer drivers

    Hi all

    I am running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit edition. I am trying to install the drivers manually for my brother HL-2040 printer, as he was unable to do it automatically.

    When I plug the printer to try to download the drivers but find that there is none is available. Then I went to the Windows 7 Compatibility Checker, I found the drivers and download.

    I then started to install. 0xe0000100 error message came at the end of the installation. Despite the drivers being installed it is somehow not recognize them as being installed in printers and devices to say that there is none for the device.

    I then rebooted and tried to do it again. The same error message appeared.

    Help, please!

    Hi Stacey,

    First of all I suggest to remove the printer installed on your computer and follow the steps below to install the printer on your computer and check if it helps.

    Step 1

    Make sure print spooler service and the service of dependency for the print spooler service is set to automatic and started.

    To start the print spooler service and set it to automatic, follow these steps.

    1. right click on computer and select Manage

    2. in the console that opens, scroll down the menu Services and applications

    3. click on Services

    4. double-click on the key of spooling print

    5. in the 'Général' tab, go to Startup Type

    6. set the value to automatic, manual or disabled

    7. to activate or deactivate the service immediately print spooler, click on stop or start

    8. click on apply, and then restart the computer.

    Once you follow the steps above are trying to install the printer and check if you are able to print.

    Step 2

    You try to run the printer troubleshooting utility built into windows 7 and check to see if it helps you to solve the problem. To do this, follow the steps below:

    1. open the printer Troubleshooter by clicking the theStart button, then clickingControlPanel.

    2. in the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting.

    3. its, and underHardware, click on use printer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

    If the steps above do not contribute to try to connect the printer to another port and check if the printer is detected automatically and installs the driver. Later, try to print and check if it works very well.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the status.

    Thank you and best regards,
