16 +# Problems adding a network printer
17 +
18 +## Error #740
19 +
20 +When adding a network printer fails with error #740, try running the following command from an _elevated_ command prompt:
21 +
22 +```bat
23 +rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il
24 +```
25 +
26 +Then, add the printer using the wizard that appears.
27 +
28 +It seems that this is somehow caused by problems with the driver installation in the regular “Add printer” wizard. After a printer has been added this way, other users should also be able to add it in the regular way.

30 +I found this solution [here](https://basics.net/2021/12/22/windows-shared-printer-cannot-be-added-error-740/).
