Windows 10: Win10/Win7 Print Networking Problem

I have a home network that was set up with all win7 machines and a HP LaserJet 4050 lpt printer attached to one of them. All machines had access thru the network to this one printer. I recently purchased a new win10 computer (Dell Precision 3630) to which I have attached the printer. I am able to print directly. But I have no access to the printer from the Lenovo win7 computer.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

homegroup win10 not recognize printer & scanner on win7 computer

Thank you so much for the quick response to my problem.

my devices I am trying to access on the win7 computer are:

Printer: Stylus Photo R200

Scanner: Perfection 4180

I had these originally on my computer B4 win10 install. After the install they did not work. That is why I connected to my other win7 computer. The win7 is within my Homegroup and when I access thru win10 I get access to docs, picts, videos, etc but not
the above devices. Reversing this, accessing my win10 computer from the win7, I get the icon my Epson Workforce 310 printer which I set up on the win7 computer for printing as well as the above devices.

Went to Epson website on the win7 comp & found the recommended driver for win7. Did the same on the win10 comp to find drivers for win10. (Did not update these drivers yet.) Apparently they have 2 different drivers dependent on WIN version. Both drivers
are up to date.

Is it possible the drivers are not compatible and this accounts for these devices not showing up on the win10 machine? Don't know if win10 driver will work on win7. I may try to set these up on win10 machine. If work can upgrade win7 to win10.

I tried steps 1 & 2. Step 3, I know I have devices set to show on the network.

Any other suggestions/comments??

Networking Win10 with Win7

I have had exact problem for the past few weeks, so I decided to contact windows tech support, after chatting to 3-4 of the junior help tech, then put me through to Senior tech help & the answer is: you can not network win10 & win7 !!!??? any PC with WIN10
can only be networked with another PC which has WIN10 !!

well done to Microsoft for pushing us all to upgrade to WIN10, without thinking that some of us have PC's which can not & doesn't support WIN10 & if we want to use it we need to buy a new system.
