Windows cannot connect to the printer operation could not be complete

[zillah]

I used to have two desktops A & B, they have internet sharing and printer sharing , they were working fine.

Desktop A XP Professional SP2 PC has got two printers (HP and Samsung) connected directly (USB cable), and printer sharing is turned on .

I bought another Desktop to replace B, because B is an old PC.

From the Desktop B (XP Professional SP2), when attempting to chose the option :

A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer

, to add a shared printer , I can browse and see the printers name (hp and Samsung), however, when I attempt to
connect both of them, I get the following error:

Window cannot connect to the printer operation could not be completed error

Do I need to have admin account with their passwords on both Desktop to be able to share the printers ?

Both PCs on the same workgroup name (MSHOME), there are no firewalls on both PCs.

Hmmm, the language of the error seems a little off. Are you sure that there isn't a hx behind the word "error" like something that begins with a 0x? This number may help a little. Try updating to the latest driver as well. For now, add the same username and identical passwords to both machines and have them added to the administrators group. Then make sure that they are both logged in when testing.
