Windows 10: Using a network printer

Hello everyone,



I have some troubles with my printer. So there are 2 computers. The first one under Windows 10 pro x64 and another one under Windows XP SP3. They are in the local network. My printer Cannon i-SENSYS LBP6000 plugged in Windows 10 pro x64. Everything looks good, but I can't send any documents from computer under Windows XP SP3 to the printer. Do you have any ideas what is wrong?




Thanks!

:)

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

 

networking a printer

It can be networked through the computer through control panel settings<view installed printers<your printer< share this printer I think is simple way someone else correct me if I'm wrong. Once you do that try connecting on your other comps by adding printer over network.
