Cannot Access PC on Network

[Zebro]

Hi,

I’m trying to make my printer share between pc’s i have followed tutorial on how to do this but when i try and access the other computer that is on the network that has the printer on it, it says you “you do not have permission to access //PCNAME” i have several computers on the same network with the same settings that i can access this way but not this one.

I have allowed all the normal settings & double checked about 8 times that it is on the same setting as every other one.

Could it be that its on W11 and this one is on W10?

Any help appreciated

Thanks!

make sure all PC’s are accessed by entering a password when logging in.
and on the PC with the shared printer and the PC’s wanting to access that printer, make sure the network settings have[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)] turn on network discovery and [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]turn on file and printer sharing for all the network profiles of [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Private, [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Guest or [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Public, and [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Domain (if you are on one).

give the shared printer a simple shared name like HP2341 or CanonMP35.
then when adding a shared printer on another PC, in Control Panel, Devices & Printers, Add a printer, click The printer I wanted isn’t listed, and in Select a shared printer by name enter \pc name\printer shared name - so something like \other PC\canonmp35 and click Browse.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
