Not able to name share printer

If this is an upgrade from XP, the printer will not get migrated but the
Server service will migrate the share name information. Take a look under
this registry key for the share name

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\lanmanserver\Shares

I don't recall if you have to reboot or not after clearing the stale data.
