Problem installing network printers using drivers stored on a NAS storage

Greetings everybody,

I'm trying to install a network printer using an administrator user but I'm getting the error message (Operation couldn't be completed error 0x00000032), when I searched for this error message I found that it means that the user is not authenticated to install the printer but I'm sure the user is admin and the password is correct.

The scenario is:
1-Open a network connection to the NAS storage using username & password to be able to read the printers drivers.
2-Create TCP/IP Port using domain admin user.
3-Install the printer using domain admin user.

The Code:

public Form1()
        {

            InitializeComponent();

//Open Connection to NAS Storage when form loads >> Step 1
            ProcessStartInfo P = new ProcessStartInfo();
            P.FileName = "net";
            P.Arguments = "use \"\\\\10.11.3.133\\CIB Library\" /user:username password";
            P.CreateNoWindow = true;
            P.UseShellExecute = false;
            Process.Start(P);
           
        }

private void Test_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

//Using Credentials
            SecureString password = new SecureString();
            foreach (char c in "xyz") password.AppendChar(c);

//Create Printer TCP/IP port >> Step 2
            ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
            info.FileName = "cscript";
            info.Arguments = @"c:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnport.vbs -a -r IP_10.17.10.176 -h 10.17.10.176 -o raw";
            info.UserName = "username";
            info.Password = password;
            info.Domain = "domain";
            info.UseShellExecute = false;
            info.CreateNoWindow = true;
            Process.Start(info);

//Install the printer >> Step 3
            string _systemRoot = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SYSTEMROOT");
            string _system32 = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SYSTEMROOT") + @"/System32";
            info.WorkingDirectory = _system32;
            info.FileName = _system32 + @"/RUNDLL32";
            info.Arguments = "printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /b \"HP LaserJet 4250n\" /f \"\\\\10.11.3.133\\CIB Library\\Drivers\\Printers XP\\HP\\HP 4250 CD\\Drivers\\i386(32 bit - 2000_XP_S2003_Vista)\\PS\\hpc4x50d.inf\" /r \"IP_10.17.10.176\" /m \"HP LaserJet 4250 PS\"";
            info.UserName = "username";
            info.Password = password;
            info.Domain = "domain";
            info.UseShellExecute = false;
            info.CreateNoWindow = true;
            Process.Start(info);
}

I think the problem is a conflict between the domain credentials I use in the printer installation part of the code and the credentials used to connect to the NAS storage where the printer driver locates because I have no problem creating the TCP/IP port or installing printers using local stored drivers.

I hope this makes it easier for you to solve my problem

Thanks in advance for your help
