How can I share a printer through a lan ?, Lan shared printer?
After installing the driver, I believe many of my friends can use computer A to connect to the printer. But how can I use computer B to connect to the printer via lan? refer to the following section. Take the XP system as an example (similar to other systems)
First, confirm that computer A is connected to the printer and the printer is correctly printed, start ---- Control Panel ---- printers and other hardware ---- printers and faxes --- Right-click the printer to be shared ---- properties ---- share ---- click share this printer (you can set the Share Name of the printer) --- OK
Operate computer A, right-click my computer -- properties -- computer name -- change computer name ---- OK, and then restart the computer. The new name will take effect. (see other people share that the method of connecting to a LAN printer through an IP address is unstable, because the IP address of the LAN generally changes, so it is best to connect to a LAN printer through a computer name, you can easily find the computer name that is easy to identify)
Make sure that computer A and computer B have wired access to the LAN (two computers connected to the same vro and connected to the internet prove to be in the same LAN, and the small computer on the notification panel will be on, wireless Access sharing does not seem to work)
Operate computer B, start --- run ---- input \ vera (computer name of computer A, note that \'s symbol is entered correctly. If you do not know how to input it, copy my here) ------ OK. Here we can see the printer that I just operated on computer. if not, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.
Operate computer B, right-click the shared printer to find out ---- connection, there is A prompt to install the driver, just like computer A install the driver, very simple, do not install the driver refer to other articles.
After operating computer B and installing the driver, go to the control panel printer and fax to check the printer status. It shows that you are ready and congratulations, proving that the sharing is successful. computer C shares A computer printer, which is the same as computer B. have a good time,
