Hello
I am trying to install a public printer. They gave me the URL. I can access the printer with my browser. It shows all the info..ready etc. so I know I am connected. When I try to add a printer with this URL I get can't connect.

Please help

You need to add a TCP/IP port, or a UNC listing, to your port list.

Start, Printers and Faxes, File, Server properties, Add port, add either the TCP/IP assignment you were given, or in UNC format \\server-name\printer_share as a new local port.

Then add the printer and give it the new port.
