how can i fix error code 2147500037

Windows uses IE for this task.

Start IE and say yes to let it be the default printer.

Print something.

Reset the default browser to your preferred product.

This worked for me but I'm not precious about temporarily changing my default browser.

Yes, I'm aware of several workarounds but what I want is for M$ to remove the dependence on IE for this function.  IE is not, nor will it be, my default browser.

..............Sound of crickets from M$.............

You're making it more difficult than it truly is; It's NOT a printing problem OR HomeGroup problem.  It is an IE problem in that Windows will NOT PRINT the HomeGroup PASSWORD unless the default browser is IE.  If I make IE the default browser it prints the HomeGroup password just fine but, I do NOT want IE as my default browser.  To verify the cause; simply install Firefox Nightly, make it your default browser and attempt to print the HomeGroup password.  Then change your default browser back to IE and voila it prints just fine

Hello,

Thank you for keeping us updated on the status of the issue and apology for the delayed response.

I would suggest you to run the HomeGroup troubleshooter and check if it helps.

If the above troubleshooter doesn't help then try follow the troubleshooting steps from this Microsoft article and check if it helps:

HomeGroup problems in Windows

Refer to the section: I can't print to a homegroup printer

Hope this information helps.
