    The shared printer is an old one, Canon iP1700, attached to a Windows XP desktop PC.My Windows 10 version was updated to 21H1 on 8/13/21 [10.0.19043 build 19043].Until 10/15/21, I was able to print from my Windows 10 notebook to this shared printer \\XPpc\CanonIP1700.

    Did you add the printer to both computers?

    Instead of physically attaching the printer to a computer, attach it to the router, assign a static IP address to the printer in the router.

    Then, it won't depend on that computer being turned on, or nor sleeping, in case someone else on the network wants to print.

    That said, this is what needs to be set on the computer that has the printer physically connected -

    The "Share" box needs to be checked, and a share name needs to be entered.

    Window 10 will not connect to shared local printer on Windows 7

    Nope. Followed all your suggestions but no success. I have two shared printers on the network (one wireless and one connected via LPT1.) While the wireless printer is working fine, the shared local printer is not seen. In fact, NEITHER printer shows up in the Windows 10 "Add Printer" wizard. This all happened after a recent Windows update. Please help.
