PAL Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Hi, I have setup some shared printers on windows 10 PCs but can't see them on the network. I thought I read somewhere that a windows 10 update had blocked this facility? Also I can't see all PCs on my network although they are setup in the same way? Any help much appreciated.
CHiLL Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Which version of Windows 10 are you using? Are the printers attached to local machines and shared out? Or are they network printers, controlled by a print server? Are you using Active Directory? If so, have you published the printers to AD? How are you searching for the printers? Using Windows Explorer or searching via AD?
PAL Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 Hi, the printers are attached to Windows 10 PCs (latest update as far as I know) via USB. The printers are then shared. I have set all the File and Printer sharing options and even played with some of the services as suggested in an article. We don't have AD or a dedicated print server. One article I found suggested that Windows 10 machines that were sharing before an update June last year will work ok but any shares setup now won't appear on the network which does seem to have some truth. Don't have any problems with the Windows 7 PCs on the same network.
