I sure can't help but I am getting the identical problem.
Netgear sold me a router with a print server that it turns
out I can't use (not compatible with the HP all in one).
So, I tried to set up the Windows print share and I get
the same error message as you. Netgear won't help--they
say it is a Windows issue. HP won't help. Microsoft
online tech support (for $35) still hasn't answered me.
I have tried switching ports; I have tried reinstalling
all the drivers; I have tried setting up the printer both
locally (as the instruction box seems to imply) and I have
tried setting up the remote computer as on a network.
Nothing but error messages.
The Microsoft instruction brochure doesn't match the
commands I am getting with the network set up wizard,
either.
Sorry, needed to rant.
