    Trying to do a simple add printer and then share it, leading to many more issues


    After a reset, saving files, the computer has recognized my venerable Brother HL5250DN and installed it, but without a driver! So, following the instructions here: how to download print drivers in windows 10 site:microsoft.com - Bing I proceed. I am prompted to log in with my credentials for a printer driver?, then the fun starts. I put in my email address and then confirm my login using Microsoft Authenticator and end up with this screenWhat is going on here? What should I be looking at? All this has come about because I wanted to share the printer with a Windows 11 device on my network. Tr

    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.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    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.

    Can't share printer—getting error message

    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.
