Trying to connect to a printer that is physically on a Win 10 computer from a Win 11 computer to no avail.

Hello Geldman,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble connecting to your printer. Since you’ve already tried the solutions suggested on the internet, here are a few more things you can try:

1. Make sure that the printer is shared on the Win 10 computer. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “Share this printer” in the Sharing tab.
   
2. Ensure that the printer is visible to other devices on the network. To do this, go to the printer properties on the Win 10 computer and check the box next to “List in the directory” in the Sharing tab.
   
3. Try disabling any firewalls or antivirus software temporarily on both the Win 10 and Win 11 computers to see if that resolves the issue.
   
4. Check if the printer is compatible with Windows 11. You can check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers and software for your printer.
   
5. Try connecting the printer to a different USB port on the Win 10 computer.
   
6. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its default settings and then setting it up again.
   

I hope one of these solutions works for you,

How to fix Network in WINS 11 to share files and folders?

I have 3 desktops with WINS 11 and 1 with WINS 10. All are connected to Network via Ethernet. Only the WINS 10 desktop is able to share files with the 3 WINS 11 desktops. All desktops have the same setting for the advanced sharing settings and media streaming in the Network & Sharing Center. The targeted folders and drives have been enabled to share (Sharing Tab) with full permissions for all users, administrators (me), everyone, and owner (me) using the Security tab. I have given access to everyone for the files and folders. I still receive the error message "permission denied". There is also the error message "You do not have permission to access \\desktop IP address. Contact your network administrator to request access". I have run the network troubleshooter on the WINS 11 desktops. I have done everything that Microsoft support suggests and beyond. Still, only the WINS 10 desktop shares with the WINS 11 desktop but they do not share among themselves. Can anyone advise what to do or is this a problem known to Microsoft but not "fixable"?
Thanks.

Network Conundrum

 

File Sharing between homegroup computers using Win 10 and Win 7

None of he suggestions offered have solved he problem. However, I found out why I was not able to see the Window 7 PC folders on my Win 10 laptop. It was all related to the difference in how you find a computers on a homegroup. As it turns out, the
Windows 10 menu structure for getting to the Network is different between the Win 7 and Win 10 operating systems. The homegroup computers can be seen on the Win 7 buy going to Network and File Sharing on the Control Panel and by clicking on the the House
Icon between the Win 7 PC icon and the Internet Icon. These icons are not part of the Network and File Sharing menu on Win 10. Instead, the homegroup computers can be found on the Network icon under the Computer Menu on Win 10 computers. Once I found Win
7 listed under the Network Icon on the Win 10 computer I was able to access all of the shared folders on the Win 7 PC.
