Can't add Network Printer via Wizard, but can via Right Click Menu

Y

I have a newly built Win2k Adv Server with 25CAL. I added the printers and
shared them. Then when I go to a client I can see them in the directory, I
can use the Add Printer Wizard to choose one. Then I get the same message.

"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name
was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its
connection to the server."

However I can use Windows Explorer, and browse to the printer, right click
and hit connect and it works great.

I got the same problem. (w2k adv server 40 cal)

If you type in the path like: \\server\hp_laser_4000_pq i can
connect a user to that printer.

But i can not see the printer shares in the wizard or in the
networkarea
