Please note that if you installed printers on your laptop previous to August 2009, you will need to reinstall them following these instructions.

During the first week of classes, I worked with one of the TECH Bar people to set up all Bryn Mawr printers on my computer. It was working great the first 2 weeks. But last week and this week, whenever I would try to print from my laptop to any of the printers I had previously installed, I got the following response: “The document could not be printed.”
So I decided to uninstall one of the printers in order to reinstall it. However, now when I follow the directions for installing printers for Vista users provided on this website , I am NOT prompted by a dialog box telling me that the server will automatically install a print driver, and asking if you would like to continue.
Instead, I am prompted by a dialog box “Connecting to public-printing.brynmawr.edu” and I have to enter a user name and password. I tried both rgoykhman and bmc.rgoykhman versions as my username and typed in my password. Both get the same result: “Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (erro 0×0000052e).
PLEASE HELP!
