I believe that you have encountered a printer sharing can not connect the problem, that occurs in this situation how do you solve it? Why is this happening? Users using the Win8.1 system also encounter situations where a shared printer cannot be connected. So how do we solve this problem? The following small series to introduce you to the Win8.1 system can not connect to the shared printer solution.
Workaround:
1. On the computer where the printer is shared, open Control Panel and click "View devices and printers";
2, in the Open device list, right click on the shared printer, click Printer properties, select this printer;
3, under the "Sharing" tab, fill in the correct "share name";
4, open the "Security" tab, you can see in the "Group or user name," There is no "everyone" of this item, click the "Add" button;
5, in the appearance of the "Select User or group" interface, click "Find Now", in the list to find "Everyone", click "OK";
6, return the interface can see "Everyone" already in the list, click "OK";
7, you can see that "everyone" has been added to the "group or user" list, set permissions for it, we "print" after "Allow" check box tick, only to assign print permissions;
8, return to reconnect can be. This workaround is most likely to occur in a newly installed system because of the problem with permissions settings.
