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/).

32 -# Using UTC for the hardware clock
33 -
34 -For historic reasons, Windows keeps the hardware clock in local time instead of UTC. This can be problematic when dealing with daylight saving time, in particular when more than one operating system is installed on the computer.
35 -
36 -Windows can be told to use a hardware clock that is set to UTC instead (I found this information [here](https://fishilico.github.io/generic-config/windows/utc-clock.html)):
37 -
38 -```reg
39 -Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
40 -
41 -[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
42 -"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
43 -```

45 -For more information about how Windows uses the hardware clock, refer to [this explainer](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/mswish/ut-rtc.html).
