Vista has once again annoyed me. My post on how to turn off UAC is all well and good until you need to add a network printer…
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.
