Cannot change printer sharename
I have just upgraded from W98SE to Windows XP
Professional. My peer-to-peer network is working fine but I cannot share my printer because XP will not let me use my old share name "because it already exists!". I would like to avoid changing the name on all the other computers particularly because of the driver issues (printer does not have the friendliest documentation or software) I have had a look at the registry and sure enough my old printer sharename is there. I could just delete the line and I think all will be well (I could then share using the old name again) BUT this is the registry so I would like some confirmation that this is the correct thing to do Thanks |
