Cannot "Share" HP5550

[Tim Schwab]

After installing an HP Deskjet 5550, printing a test page
without fail, I attempted to share the printer. I can go
into printer properties and click the share tab, I can
check off "share this printer" and type in a printer
name. When I click "OK" I receive the following:
"Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could
not be completed."

Any help!!!
Thanks

Are you logged on as an Administrator when you try to save the settings?

Yes, even logged on as an administrator.

And the Shared Name is less than 13 characters with NO SPACES in it?
