Google cloud print driver for Windows 10, error 0x80070705

I'm trying to install the google cloud print driver for Windows (version 58.0.3020.0) to be able to print normal word documents to my google cloud-registered printers. When I run the installer I get the following error message:



Translated to English, it says:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud Printer\58.0.3020.0\debug.log contains:

Where the last 6 lines repeat a couple of times (with different numbers at the start), probably because I have tried to install the driver multiple times already.

I have tried both the most recent "normal" chrome version 59.0.3071, and the current canary version 61.0.3141.0 for installing the driver. I'm running Windows 10.0.14393 on a HP ProBook 4730s.

Does somebody know what the problem is?

 

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

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.
