    Add Printer - Unknown Printer on Network


    Hi ! I keep getting an unknown printer showing up when I go to add a printer. Does this indicate a breach of network security ? It seems to me it does because it sure is NOT my printer ! Cannot remove printer either... Ideas for how do I resolve ( yes rebooted ) ? Running Norton 360 (Win 10) which is usually pretty good at Network security. Other symptoms - Device Manager keeps reloading will not steady list to enable me to drill down to look into any devices...

    :)

    networking a printer

    It can be networked through the computer through control panel settings<view installed printers<your printer< share this printer I think is simple way someone else correct me if I'm wrong. Once you do that try connecting on your other comps by adding printer over network.

    networking a printer

    when networking a printer does it have to be connected to the router or can it be connected to a pc and be networked thru the pc?
