Cannot share a printer due to errror 0x0000052f
Hi,
I am not able to share a printer via Homegroup, where the printer is connected on the USB port of the computer that hosts the Homegroup.
the printer works fine on the computer it is connected to, indicating the driver is OK.
Another computer on the Homegroup can search the host computer, but it cannot access the printer due to error 0x0000052f.
I think that error is due to a corrupted file, whether it is a system file on the secondary Homegroup computer, I don't know.
I've tried several things:
- starting again from scratch, 1) disabling the anti-virus program 2) disabling the Homegroup 3) unconnecting the printer and reconnecting it 3) re-creating the homegroup 4) trying to add a printer to the secondary computer, and getting the message "error 0x0000052f"
- manually investigating the Registry Hkey_Local_Machine>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Run where I expected there to be a error 0x0000052f file but found nothing
- invested in a Registry cleaner "RegCurePro" which didn't change the problem
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
Thank you
