I have a Vista computer networked to an XP computer that is physically connected to a Samsung printer. I have been printing fine for 8 months now. Suddenly I am getting this error message when I try to print from the Vista computer. The Vista computer sees the Samsung just fine. The Vista computer is able to connect to the XP computer and save a word document to the XP and then print. It just can no longer send an item to print across the network anymore. Like I said, it had been printing fine. How can I make the "Active Directory Domain Service" available again?

Thank you,
Cindy

My husband fixed mine. From the Control Panel, he opened the printers,
right clicked on the printer I use, then selected Run As Adminsitrator

For Vista users, this is what I did. And after several sleepless night,
I can finally close my eyes. First of all you must know your base
station (I'm using Airport Express) *IP address*. You could either get
it from "Airport Utility" or for Window users right click on the
"Wireless Network Connection", click "Details". The IP address is there.

1. Go to "Network"
2. Click "Add a Printer"
3. Click "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer"
4. If your desired printer doesn't appear, click "The printer that I
want isn't listed"
5. Click "Add a printer using TCP/IP address or hostname"
6. Key in the Hostname or IP address (I key in the IP add)
7. Click next
8. Select your printer driver or "have disk option"

This should solve the problem. Good luck

I'm not sure my reply made it through as after I typed it, it took me to a
screen to enter my name again and then gave me a message about exceeding a
limit and to contact microsoft if I don't get an email allowing me in. So I
will try again just incase...

Thank you for replying. I have already tried that but it didn't change
anything. Cindy

I had the same problem. I found a solution. Logically it makes no sense
to me, but it worked so...

Go to *-Control Panel-*. Choose *-printer-*. Then choose *-Add
Printer-*.

Choose*-Add a local printer.-* Click on *-Create a new port.-* The
default in the drop down box is *-Local Port-*. Do not change that.
Click *-Next-*.

A dialogue box will appear asking for you to enter a port name. Type in
the '_\\_*-_computer_-*' (file://computer/)*- name\printer name-* ie. My
computer's name is basement and the printer name is EpsonSty so I typed
in *-\\basement\epsonsty-*

Yahoo! It worked. Go figure! I guess Microsoft thinks printers on a
intranet are local.
Hope this helps someone else so they don't spend the hours I did on it!

Thanks squishedworm this works! You would think Microsoft would make i
easier to link to your printer via your wireless network.
Thanks agai

Hi, I was having trouble with the error message as well (i'm a mac person, and i would like to state that my mac work properly the first time). The solution that work for me was to go to control panel, then search for printer where i then changed the default printer. Fixed it right up. Though i find it intersting that "Pinters" is not an imidiate option under the control panel.
