Another printer or printers share with this name already exists.

c’mon use another name for the printer.

I received this error despite the fact that there was no other printer using the name I specified.

For me, this message appeared because somewhere in the Windows Registry was a reference to that printer name.

I had to remove the registry entry using these steps.

You may want tomake a backup of the Registryfirst before performing these steps.

Now attempt to add the printer again.

You should be able to use the name you desired without the issue notification appearing.
