"Specified Print Monitor"?

[Guest]

Just got a new laptop with Windows Vista Home. Can't connect to a network
printer that was easily accessible to Windows XP computers. I get a prompt
to download the drivers, then I get an error message that says "The specified
print monitor was not found."

I know I'm not the only one with this problem, there's at least one other
post here with the same issue, but no answers yet. Can someone help us
resolve this? Thanks.

Is UAC disabled or do you logon with the built in admin account?

This addresses several issues one of them is a connection issue when UAC is
disabled and the shared printer has a language monitor..

here's the KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938979

here's the x86 download

I have time to read about 2 paragraphs of that. I assume I have admin
privileges, because I am not restricted from any activities -INCLUDING adding
other network printers attached to XP servers, which I have done. Its just
this one printer. And incidentally, HP is unable to fix this problem - after
about 4 hours of online help, they chalk it up to "incompatibility." That,
of course, will not fly with me.

Third time is the charm. HP was able to kludge it together and make it work.
Apparently you have to define a LOCAL port on the Vista machine, and give it
the name \\SERVER\PrinterShareName.

The printer model, by the way, is an OfficeJet J5780 All-in-One.

Thanks,
