Can't share printer—getting error message

Step 1: Go to store.
Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.

Printer Sharing Issue

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want the printer to be shared on the network. I’ll certainly help you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• What is the make and model of the printer?
  

To share the printer on the network, I would suggest you to refer the article on

Share your network printer and see if that helps.



Let us know the results.
