I’m using a client-server application that stores information about default
printers in a database. I have a printer on “Computer A” shared as “Printer
A.” From Computer A, I selected Printer A to be the default printer for the
application.
However, when logging in to the application from another client (Computer
B), I receive an error message that the default printer is not valid. This is
because Computer B sees the shared printer as \\Computer A\ Printer A but
only “Printer A” was recorded in the database.
If I reconfigure the application default settings from computer B, then
\\Computer A\ Printer A is stored in the database but then the error occurs
on computer A because it only “knows about” Printer A, not \\Computer A\
Printer A.
How do I share a local printer on a network so that the printer name in the
database can be recognized by both “A” and “B?”
