I have a laptop with win 8.1 and have set up a homegroup. My printer is connected to this laptop. I also have a Vista machine and can access the printer with workgroups. I have a second laptop with 8.1 that was accessing the printer attached to the first machine OK, but today it won't - message is Access denied.
I have been reading the threads and tried all the options I have found - deleted the homegroup and tried setting it up again with no luck. I have disabled the firewall (temporarily). I have checked the registry for IPv6 and all the suggestions on that thread. I have checked the clocks are in sync.
On the second 8.1 laptop, the first machine comes up in Explorer, but is not available, yet Troubleshooting doesn't find anything wrong. When I go into Homegroup I only see Create, not Join.
Any ideas what I can try so I can print?
Thanks
