Your tutorial saved my reputation as it support in my office. Thank you!

[@FernandoC]

Glad it helped!

[@wademartz894]

Applied this to a print server. It fixed the issue.

[@samcolton943]

Hey Fernando! Thank you so much for posting this, I was close to beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out. Worked perfectly. Client was trying to use an old USB printer and I couldn't get it to share for the life of me.

[@FernandoC]

Yeah, I had to do lots of research to figure out this problem and it's the worst when you think you are doing everything correctly and still have a problem. Software is buggy out there!

[@samcolton943]

@@FernandoCI can imagine! Either way, people like you are incredibly helpful to us who are trying to troubleshoot something for a client on the fly and nothing is working :)
Thanks again!

[@mdhafizhasan755]

The value data for my PrinterDriverAttributes is 5, how do I resolve that? Changing it to 1 didn't resolve it.

I just have one question, if the printer is shared to more then one desktop , it will work also if I did the same process, if i have to change the printer attribute on registery as u change from 0 to 1 if many I have to change for example to 2 , 3 etc …
