If you are getting the following error while adding a Samba based network printer to Vista:
Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d1).
And you have a Samba server (version 3.0 and above) consider using the following technique to add the printer:
- Add a local printer (not a network one!)
- Select “create a new port”
- Select “Local port” as type of port
- In the port name enter the printer’s SMB path, i.e. \sambaserver\printer_name
- Select the right driver
That’s all. Works like a charm!
