Hi there everyone!
Windows 8 machine sharing printer with 8 and 7 machine.
Under Advanced sharing settins, I've enabled Network sharing in private, public/guest and all networks and disabled password protected sharing. Under printer properties, I have selected to share the printer under the share tab.
On the other machines, nothing shows up. On win 7, I chose to find the printer on the network and when I click the printer's host, I'm prompted for a network username & pass. This is in spite of the fact that I chose to disable password protected sharing is disabled under Advanced sharing settings.
Could someone help me get this figured out? I'd love to have the crew be able to use the printer.
Thanks for your time!
