I am trying to connect to a shared printer on an XP SP2 machine, but I get
the error:

Windows cannot connect to the printer. There is not enough memory to
complete this operation. Please close some programs and try again.

I am able to browse the shared resources on the XP SP2 machine without
error, and have no trouble mapping to shared folders or accessing shared
data. The only problem I encounter is when I try to connect to the shared
printer.

I have recreated the printer share on the XP SP2 machine and still receive
the same error on my Vista machine.
 
I did attempt to adjust the IRP Stack Size, but it did not seem to have any
effect on mapping the printer.

I was however finally able to get it to work by first installing the printer
drive, then manually creating a new Local Port to the remote share.
 
1. You may want to try increase IRPStackSize up to 54.
2. Or try to install the printer as local port first and then re-capture it
as network printer. This link may help. Please post back with the result.
