    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.

    Shared printer does not work on client PCs

    Cannot access Shared Printer

    Hello,

    First post, will try and be thorough.

    Have 3 networked PC's all running Windows 10 Version 20H2.
    One of the PC's (we will call this the SERVER) has a shared printer (HP LaserJet M3035) connected via USB.
    Of the 2 CLIENT machines 1 connects to the printer, the other does not ("Windows cannot connect to printer", details -> "Operation failed with error code 0x0000011b".
    Both of the CLIENT machines are able to access shared files on the SERVER.

    I do not think this is a Windows update issue as this has been an intermittent problem ever since the 3 PC's were purchased in Feb 2021.

    If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.

    Thank you!
