Default Cannot create a file when that file already exists

Are you in a workgroup or domain environment? Is the user account
setup properly? What if you login to the machine with a different
account, such as admin and try to setup the printer? Are you getting
the error when you install the printer, or when you try to connect to
the printer? How about if you install the printer to your local LPT
port (even though it's not connected to it) and then delete the
printer and try to reconnect to the share?


Its connected to a domain
Yes the user is set up properly
Only from that machine you cannot install the appropriate drivers. The
drivers do install but right at the end it says "Cannot create a file
when that file already exists."
Connecting the printer through a virtual USB connection.
---------------------------------

I uninstalled all printer drivers, and even removed them from the
registry and from the local machine. Installed the driver again, and
it worked. Just a pain in the ass installing the other printers as
well.
