Re: Print sharing problems

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



The Network Setup stuff is supposed to enable the Guest account. Can you
view any shared files (if you don't have any, add a shared folder on the
machine sharing the printer). If you can remotely access shared files you
should be able to access the shared printer.

I have a HP printer hooked to my main computer in the family room and I
have
3 other computers that I would like that printer to print from. All my
computers are wireless. When I try to set up any of the computers to
use
the
main printer I get a password screen and it seems that it wants to log
into
the guest log in. the guest are all off. have tried to activate the
guest
but
no help. This is extremely frustrating. Thanks for anyones help in the
matter.
