    Hi Eddie,

    1. Could you please let me know if other print job works fine? Could you print a document from Word or NotePad?
    2. Is this the complete error message "Your homegroup password couldn't be printed

    An error occurred while Windows was trying to print your homegroup password. (Error code: 2147500037)" you are getting?

    If yes, then this error is displayed when Internet Explorer is not your default web browser. To fix this error, and allow you to print your homegroup password, you first need to set Internet Explorer as your default web browser. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the following mini-guide:

    After that, please refer to the steps in the following link to create a new homegroup:

    HomeGroup from start to finish

    What if one doesn't want Internet Explorer as their default web browser? I've used Mozilla Firefox for years now and don't want to change back to IE.  HELP!!!!!

    OMG... Almost 2 years later and this still hasn't been fixed?  I cannot believe MS FORCES one to use IE for this ONE SIMPLE TASK - Give me a break.  I set IE as default and, after it loaded almost every add in the entire world and started pop-up and pop behind windows with even more adds, printed my homegroup password and then quickly reverted to Firefox as my default browser.   Come on MS, get your act together, there is no reason to force us to use IE for anything.  Please?
