  1. Shared Printers


    Hi!


    I am facing a little bit of a problem.

    Since we changed ERP system we are in need of putting a printer connected to the server through sharing of a computer. Our problem is, the name of the printer can't have "\" per example, the printer right now is called "\\computer\citizen" and we need to make it just "citizen"


    Is this possible?


    Best Regards,


    Alexandre

    :)

    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.

    Yeah, I have windows firewall disabled, and I don't use any other firewall... mostly to prevent stupid issues like this.

    None taken... and yeah, I do.
