Symptoms

When you try to install a network printer on a computer that is running Windows 7, you receive the following error message:

Windows cannot connect to the printer (details: Operation failed with error 0x0000052e)

start \\<servername>\<printername>

Note

In this command, <servername> represents the name of the print server and <printername> represents the share name of the printer.

In the authentication window, enter the appropriate credentials.

Workaround 2

Store a trusted credential in Credential Manager. To do this, follow these steps:

In Control Panel, open Credential Manager.

a. Click on Start and select Devices and Printers.

b. Click on Add a printer > Add a local printer >

c. Create a new port and in the drop-down box make sure “Local Port” is selected and click on Next
