Computer does not recognize printer attached to another computer
In trying to setup a printer on MOM's computer within the workgroup (MSHOME),
the computer does not see the printer that's attached to DAD's computer. The structure shows this: - Microsoft Network Group - DAD - MOM I'm expecting to see a printer under DAD that I could use, but there's no printer name. Could anyone shed some solution? |
Computer does not recognize printer attached to another computer
Are these both Windows XP?
if MOM can see both DAD and MOM in Network Places, you already did the hard part. The printer should be listed in a Printers and Faxes folder in the DAD folder. It is not? On DAD, open Printers and Faxes, right-click on the printer and choose Properties. What does it say on the Sharing page? Paul "Johnnie" wrote in message ...

DAD's is running XP Prof, MOM's has XP Home.
DAD's printer sharing is on, has the shared hand. Printer's name=Brother.

There are a few things you can try, which I list in order.
I would proceed as follows. After each change, test it. If it fails, reboot both machines and test it again. If it still fails, move on to the next step. If it succeeds, take note of which step fixed it for the benefit of others that may be in a similar situation. 1. Make sure that sharing is on, on DAD. The easiest way to do this is to use the Network Connection Wizard in All Programs Accessories Communication. 2. Make sure that sharing is on, on MOM. 3. You may need to enable the Guest account on DAD, if there are accounts with no password protection. You can do this using Start Control Panel User Accounts User Accounts. Was it already enabled or disabled? 4. You may need to enable the Guest account on MOM. Was it already enabled or disabled? If it still does not work, which firewall, antivirus or antispyware software do you have, and do you have any hardware that could be interfering, eg. a router? Paul "Johnnie" wrote in message ...

Paul,
1. Sharing in ON both on DAD's and MOM's. 2. I enabled the Guest accounts on both. 3. Still does not work, I have Symantec firewall and antivirus, but the firewall allows file and print sharing. 4. MOM's computer can see the shared documents on DAD's (but not the printer), but when I try to open, an error comes up, something to do with access permission.

Alun,
Shouldn't it show any shared printers on DAD in the My Network Places\DAD\Printers and Faxes folder on MOM, regardless of permissions? Johnnie, is it even showing you the Printers and Faxes folder? If not, the problem could merely be that this shell extension became unregistered and you can try adding it a different way. You can use the Add Printer Wizard and browse for a network printer. A colleague of mine was convinced that Windows XP Home Edition does not have permissions, by which he meant file and folder DACLs. He came to this belief because they are not visible in the UI, as you say. For the benefits of those with the same misconception - yes, it does have DACLs. As I discovered, you can view them with the SUBINACL Platform SDK tool. Paul "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Is the Everyone group on the printer security tab?

Paul,
Yes, I can see the Printers and Faxes folder in MOM's, under Control Panel. And yes, I've been trying to use the Add Printer wizard which allows you to see the printer that's available in the network, but to no avail. I see DAD on MOM's computer but not the printer.

Alan,
Yes, the group 'Everyone' shows on DAD's printer security tab. On MOM's it doesn't show since I don't have a printer yet that could show the security tab.

Alan,
Actually, I think it should show all shared printers in My Network Places\...\DAD, regardless of permission.

Alan, I mentioned this in my list of suggested steps on 2/5. Johnnie, I
looked over your answer again and you said that sharing was on on both computers, but you did not say how you determined that. The Network Connection Wizard, which I think is what Alan is referring to, does more than just simply turn sharing on or off. For example, it adds a File and Printer Sharing exception to the Windows Firewall configuration. In any case, this has helped me in the past with these kinds of problems.

network, but when SON attaches his laptop to the home network, he can access DAD's files but cannot see the printer at all! |

Dear Alan and Paul,
I would like to thank you both for your time and effort in helping me. I've decided that this is creating too much frustration and discontent on my part, so I will stop. It shouldn't be this hard to have a home network, microsoft should have given much more detailed instructions from the beginning (i.e., creating an account, logging on to other computers, etc.). I have reached a point that I think it's better to just connect another printer to MOM. Again, thanks to both of you. -Johnnie "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote: When you browse to the remote machine, there should be a Printers and Faxes folder, file and print share names, and the Scheduled Task Folder if you have admin rights on the remote machine. what is returned when executing net view on MOM with \\DAD as the target? net view \\printw2k3 Shared resources at \\printw2k3 Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Disk Canon3100 Print Canon 3100 using 6800 driver cd Disk HP750C Print 750C WMITEST1 Print stress The command completed successfully. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

You're welcome.
I too struggled to set up a home network at my in laws that allowed printer sharing. But then again, one of my in laws is prone to downloading spyware and he can't even ping himself without getting a socket error 65, so that's probably why! I have given up for now.
