    Unable to connect network shared printer to my PC

    I'm using windows 10 pro, trying to connect a shared printer to my PC from my workgroup. Another user can attach the printer via printer sharing resources in the workgroup. But I can't, Enable to browse shared printer PC name from my system. Kindly suggest.

    Unable to connect to shared printer in workgroup environment

    Windows 10 unable to receive printer connection from linux RHEL 5

    Hi Antony,

    Thanks for you reply.

    Moving forward i don't receive any error code or error message, while sharing the printer and i didn't make any
    software changes. I'm using local account as user profile. What i'm suspecting is the homegroup and workgroup issues. As per your suggestion i'm planning to convert it to Workgroup and check if you
    can share the printer with Linux.

    It would be better and easier if you can provide some steps in order to convert windows 10 to workgroup environment.

    Thanks and will appreciate.
