Windows 10: Selective Print Problem

I have reservations made at 2 hotels, a rental car company, and an airlines. All emailed me confirmations to the same email account. Only 1 hotel and the rental car company will actually print a paper copy. The airlines and the second hotel emails will not print. I get no feedback as to why they don't print. they don't even show in the que. All were keyed in the same way. Why do some print and some do not?

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

• Remove the printer device.
• Add a Printer
• The printer that I want isn’t listed
• Select a shared printer by name
• Browse
• Select the displayed Machine 1.
• Select the displayed Printer.
• Next
• Failure “Connect to Printer”.
• Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
• Next
• Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
• Detecting TCP/IP Port
• Additional Port information required.
• Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
• Next
• Detecting the Driver Model
• Install The Print Driver
• Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
• Next
• Replace the Current Driver
• Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
• Next
• Do not share this printer
• Next
• You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
• Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.
