I am using a Windows 2000 Professional machine SP3 trying
to connect to an Active Directory published printer. When
trying to connect I receive the error message "Could not
connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name
that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer
connected to the server."

This only appears on a few Windows 2000 machines. Other
almost identical Windows 2000 machines can connect and
install these printers. To install the printers I am
going to the printers | add printers | network printer |
find a printer in the directory. I then find the printer
and click OK then get the error message.

Anyone seen this error message before?
