Connect To Printer Operation Failed With Error 0x0000007e
24 new computers. Exact same build, Windows 7 Enterprise. About half are having this problem when installing printers. "Windows cannot connect to the windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x00007e printer." Details: "Operation failed with error 0x0000007e". I do not want to have half the computers with local port definitions and half with whatever is automatically assigned. Tried using script "rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /q /n \\myserver\myprinter" but for half it works. Others it does not. Some printers windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x00000a install, others consistently don't. Those that don't are HP CLJ 2550n, HP CLJ2840n. Had problem with HP LJ 4250 but printer firmware update fixed that. Did nto fix on others. Again, half of the new PCs with same config will connect and work just fine. Ideas?

Please check if solutions on the following thread will work: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7install/thread/a7fe6b93-5752-49a6-add7-0cf129b7b348 In addition, according to our database, if the driver has color profiles, the add printer wizard will fail. It is a known bug and our developers do recognize this issue and are working on it.If thereany solution is availa
| June 29, 2013 16 Comments Are you new to 64 bit Windows 7? You might be wondering how to share printer between 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64) windows.
When you try to connect printer from a 64 bitWindows Cannot Connect To The Printer Operation Failed With Error 0x00003eb
Windows that is shared on 32 bit windows you will get an error message “Windows cannot windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x00005b3 connect to the printer Operation failed with error 0x0000007e”. Recently, I had some troubles setting up some network printers on computers running 64-bit.
Windows Cannot Connect To The Printer Operation Failed With Error 0x2
Before going to the technical description let me figure out my situation. In my I.T department the printer is shared on a 32 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed 64 Windows on my desktop. After the installation I tried https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/95284883-e9bf-45a8-99ed-43d14483fbd3/printer-cannot-connect-operation-failed-0x0000007e?forum=w7itprogeneral to connect the shared printer. I was unable to connect the shared printer since it was on 32 bit. I was getting an error message “Windows cannot connect to the printer Operation failed with error 0x0000007e” I tried different methods windows 7 file and printer sharing; at last I found the simple solution for windows printer sharing. Here are the steps that I followed. Share 32 bit printer 64 bit windows 7 Step 1: Open Start >> http://www.smartpctricks.com/2013/06/solved-operation-failed-with-error-0x0000007e-share-printer-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-windows-7.html Devices and Printers Step 2: Click Add a printer button Select Add a Local Printer Now go for Create a new port, nothing to do for Type of port, keep as it is and click Next. Step 3: You will be asked to provide ‘Port Name’, the format of port address is shown below \\IP Address of the 32 bit PC\Printer name For example our printer is connected to a PC having IP 192.168.1.185 and the printer name is HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL6 (Copy 1) so my port Name will be \\192.168.1.185\ HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL6 (Copy 1) Then click OK Step 4: Choose your printer from the directory [Actually our printer is HP LaserJet P2050 but it was not in the directory, hence I choose something similar, that is HP LaserJet P2200] and proceed. Step 5: Provide a Printer name foe the new printer. Step 6: You Successfully added new shared printer…! You can print test page if needed.

the print server, but making connections to the individual printers gave us this error. Good times. The workaround was to add the printer manually, as a local printer. To do this: Go to Control Panel > Printers > Add Printer. Then add a new local printer, https://awesometoast.com/fixing-cannot-connect-to-printer-error-0x0000007e/ using a local port. (Not TCP/IP.) For the name, put in the whole path. This will be something like: \\YourPrintServer\ThePrintersName Now it will ask you about drivers. (Make sure you have downloaded the 64-bit drivers for your printer.) Choose Have http://nikrooz.co.uk/windows-7-x64-printing-through-a-32-bit-print-server-0x000007e-error/ Disk…, and browse to where you saved them. With luck, it will now ask you for what you want to call the printer on your local computer, and you're done! This fix worked for every computer we ran into this connect to error for. Good luck!

Thanks! #2 by zp on 05.17.10 at 2:59 pm Worked for me on Win 7 64-bit with network printer. Created local port of \\printserver\printer. Thanks. #3 by Ant on 09.03.10 at 10:41 am I had the same problem - it turned out to be HP's 64-bit drivers copying over a printer operation failed wrong dll to the client computers. I've documented the problem and solution here… just needs one registry tweak on the server. http://www.nikrooz.co.uk/?p=26 #4 by PB on 09.08.10 at 9:19 am This is actually a bug in Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2. You can download the hotfix, but it is not yet available via WSUS or Windows Update. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982728 "Windows cannot connect to printer" error message when you try to create a Point and Print connection to a remote printer from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based client computer #5 by Mick Brown on 02.12.11 at 1:21 pm I also had this problem. However, I vould only fix it by changing the system local language. This page describes it at solution 3: http://www.itexperience.net/2011/02/11/operation-failed-with-error-0x0000007e-when-adding-a-printer/ #6 by FirefighterGeek on 03.23.11 at 7:20 am Thanks for this. For my HP network printer on Windows 7, I had to do this as well -- going a step further. It was necessary to remote the printers, then add them back manually, but when adding back I had to create new ports with names that were shorter an contained only letters. By default, when you create a standard tcpip port, it wants to use the IP address you type in as the name as well. I had to override this and use a text name. Then, when asked if I wanted to keep the existing driver or replace it, it hit "replace" and
Uncategorized 24 COMMENTS 0x0000007e, 64 bit printing, windows 7 This week, we bit the bullet and installed Windows 7 on all 100 machines in the university library. Of course, the sensible thing to do would be to test everything works first. But where's the fun in that? So, 64-bit Windows 7 installed, we checked all was okay. Oops… x64 windows needs x64 printer drivers. That wasn't a problem, and most printers were working within an hour or so. However, some of the HP printers that are in the library, particularly the HP colour laserjet 9500, proved more troublesome. 64-bit drivers added to the Server 2003 x86 server, the client machines would download the driver (we were using the HP Universal print driver PCL 6) but then fail with the following error when trying to connect to the printer: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000007e. So we tried PCL5. No luck. None of the HP drivers would work. Googling the error showed lots of people in the same position - with 64-bit Windows Vista or Windows 7 and a 32-bit print server. The only suggested workaround is adding the printer manually to a workstation as a local printer, and picking up the driver from a CD or download that way (not from the print server). So… in comes procmon. Not long before the dreaded error message, spoolsv.exe looks in a registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider\Servers\[SERVERNAME]\Printers\{0000-guid-of-printer-00}\CopyFiles\BIDI\Module that tells it to go find (system32) spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\hpcpn081.dll. This doesn't exist, hence the ‘module not found' error 7e. The driver installation does, interestingly, copy a newer hpcpn104.dll into this directory. Getting warmer! Copying hpcpn081.dll from \\PRINTSERVER\print$\x64\3 to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3… printer installs successfully! So, why is it copying the wrong dll? Well, a short dig through the server's registry reveals a key similar to the one on the client, in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\[PRINTERNAME]\CopyFiles\BIDI. The "Module" value points to spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\hpcpn104.dll. Change this to hpcpn081.dll and hey presto
