    new PC, W11, can't see non network printers on other PC's on network


    I'm a fairly advanced user- though haven't done much tinkering in the past few years so I seem to be losing it! OK, just got a new Dell Inspiron. I also have an old Dell XPS with W8.1 which is still my "main" computer. The XPS has a HP Laserjet 1320 attached via USB so it's not a "network printer". On the home network I have a 3rd Dell and a true network printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8740.The new Inspiron was able to find and install the 8740 but it can't see the 1320- and yes, when I have the XPS on as I know when it's not on the network can't see the 1320. I went into both Dells' "advanced sha

    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?

    so you just have to connect it to the pc and that one should be connected with the network *Smile new PC, W11, can't see non network printers on other PC's on network :)

    new PC, W11, can't see non network printers on other PC's on network

    Printer appears offline for one pc in the network?

    when you click add network printer are you adding it from a diff PC?


    for example.


    when i add my 3 printers it will look like this (example)


    Add Network printer

    epson on theresa-laptop (some IP)

    epson on main-frame (some ip)

    epson on solaris-desktop (some ip)

    epson (some IP)

    that just an example. but you dont want to add it from a pc for example "epson on solaris-desktop (some ip)" you want to add it from "epson (some IP)" because if you add it from another system if that system is offline the printer wont be availible. If the printer does not have networking capabilities of its own..meaning that you wont have a printer on its own IP you need to make sure w/e PC the printer is hooked upto is on all the time
