Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

Hello

I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

    Hello

    Thank you for your time and effort to get back to us, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

    Method 1 step number d makes reference to the present Details tab on the event viewer, where you can get the details of the error. First, search for the error which will be something like Windows cannot process extension Client Strategy Group-side and click on the error and then click the Details tab and make a note of the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for the extension defective client-side. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Now come to step f number , it indicates the location of the Group Policy Extensions so that you can check if the extensions shown in the case log and the Registry Editor extension have a difference. The path of the GPExtension is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Let us know if the steps are clear to understand now. If this isn't the case, we will be happy to help you further.

  • Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. __This is probably caused by settings of firewall on this computer. __

    I recently installed the version of Norton, after that I was unable to use the internet, I thought it was the Norton firewall settings. After having playing with her for 30 minutes, I gave up and uninstalled Norton. I have disabled the firewall, I have reset the default settings. Here is the message I get when I run a diagnostic. A crazy thing is that I can connect to internet when I connected to this same computer as a guess.

    Please help me!

    This is probably caused by the settings of firewall on this computer.

    Check the settings of firewall for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FTP port (21).

    It is not recommended to keep Windows Firewall disabled on the computer.

    This would happen if the ports are not open in the Windows Firewall.

  • Error: "Windows cannot install to the selected location. Error: 0 x 80300001. »

    When I try to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba computer formatted I get this error message after trying to install the RAID driver during the installation process:

    "Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error: 0 x 80300001.

    I'm unable to proceed with the installation. Can someone please?

    Hi Jon,

    This error can occur during a clean Windows 7 install the operating system installation media is not in the drive. This happens usually when a user is necessary for the exchange of discs in order to install the necessary drivers on the system and the operating system disks were not placed in the drive before proceeding with the installation.

    The error would not occur if the Setup program has been started using a USB key as stable media would not be switched.
     
    The solution would be to change the driver CD or DVD of Windows 7 install DVD media when this happens, then we can continue with the installation of Windows 7. In this particular case, it is likely that the RAID driver disk has been left in the drive.

    Note: This problem/error appeared less in Windows Vista since a message asking to specify the installation media usually as follows:

    "Please insert the disc 1 installation of Windows.
