I have a printer server named "SERVER1" setup and working great. Clients can install printers and print to these printers just fine. I added an DNS Host record to our DNS server named "PRINTSERVER" and pointed it to the IP of the print server. I then browse via windows explorer to \\PRINTERSERVER and double click a printer to install it using this path. (I also get the same error when adding a CNAME record and doing the same thing.) I get the following error message:
"Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network."
Any idea why i can't install the printer under this alternate DNS name and how to resolve it?
