How to troubleshoot the "Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed" message?

When i try to add remotely, through your software, a network printer on a computer, I receive the following error message : "Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007e)."

"Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007e)." is a native message of Microsoft Windows Operating System and is not directly related to Pointdev software.

You can receive this message when your computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or of Windows Server 2008 R2.
