Add Printer - Operation Cannot be Completed


Recommended Posts

Not sure whether the problem began with XP SP3 or as a result of optimizing

my hard drive with Norton System Works 2008. Noted after installing Acrobat

Pro 9 that it will not pdf any documents as the system would not setup the

necessary printers. Tried adding a printer manually and get the Operation

Cannot Complete message.

 

The fix to this is to ensure that Print Spooler is running in Services which

it is. It both comes on automatically at boot and stays started. I have

also attempted to manually shut it down and then start it but to no avail.

 

If it's not the spooler, any suggestions of what it could be. I'd like to

avoid reinstall my entire machine alhtough will be attemptinga fix via

Windows Repair installation.

 

From another site, I did try a suggested fix to remove the .PNX files,

however, this didn't work either.

 

Is there a registry setting that I can adjust to get back Add Priinter?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
