Error while sharing a printer "printer settings could not be saved share name is invalid"....

[AvisBang]

Hi,


Please let me explain the scenario first.

I have two printers(Device and printers) and among those two printers one is shared and other is not.

Let us assume the printers as printer1 and printer2, where printer1 has a share name(printer1).

Now I deleted shared name of printer1 and unchecked the "Share this printer" check box in "Sharing" tab of printer1 properties and clicked ok button.

Now I tried assigning the removed share name of printer1(i.e. "printer1") to share name of "printer2" and click Apply button.

Then an error occured("Printer settings could not be saved. Share name is invalid").


If I want to assign in a way as I mentioned above do I need to remove any entry related to that share name(printer1) from registry?


Any help would be appreciated!


Thanks in advance
