Windows Vista Forces you to use UAC to Add a Printer

neosmart.net — You cannot add a network printer in Windows Vista unless you have UAC turned on, not even with the administrator account. And for more added fun, the error message does not tell you what the problem is, rather it gives you an ambiguous error message. That's the reason I'm posting this, I was baffled until I found this article.

    UAC is a nice feature to protect Joe Bloggs with his AOL intenet connection and peer to peer file sharing apps but on a corporate LAN Vista is causing endless trouble for me and the company I work for.

    Lets hope Microsoft release a hot fix for this!
