    That Didn't Work Error #6 while installing shared printer


    Hello everyone,I am attempting to Add a shared network printer onto a machine of one of my users. The user was recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. When her system was on Windows 7 no problem. But since the upgrade to Windows 10 I cannot add the shared printer and get "Error #6". The printer's host computer is also Windows 10. To be safe I uninstalled the printer from the host computer, reinstalled and reinstalled. No change, Error #6.I tested by adding the shared network printer on another Windows 10 machine and it installed fine.Any advice on how to resolve this would be apprecia

    :)

    Can't share printer—getting error message

    Step 1: Go to store.
    Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
    Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
    Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

    In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

    However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.

    Can't share printer—getting error message

    Not working... I see the printer, but when I go to add it, I get this messge: "Windows could not connect to the printer (error 0x0000000d)."

    I installed the 32-bit drivers for it and printed something out from the pc the printer is connected to, and I went to the additional drivers page and added drivers for 64-bit, and when I went to add the printer on the other machine, it copied drivers over, but after that I got the error message listed above...

    Can't share printer—getting error message

    Yeah, I have windows firewall disabled, and I don't use any other firewall... mostly to prevent stupid issues like this.

    None taken... and yeah, I do.
