Hello everyone, Lin Fei to answer the above questions, how to share folders, how to share network printers many people do not know, now let's take a look!

How to set up LAN printer sharing? How do I set up printer sharing? Before printing, please make sure that the sharer's computer and the user's computer are in the same local area network, that the local area network is open, and that the operating system is consistent. Let's take a look at the detailed steps for setting up printer sharing in time LAN.

1. Share the printer on the computer with the printer.

Step 1: first make sure that the printer connected to the shared printer is powered on and that the printer driver has been installed and can print normally. Let's not talk about driver installation here. The two computers actually operated this time are both Windows XP professional operating systems.

Step 2: share the actual operation of the printer. Take the Canon PIXMA MP145 all-in-one (one of the Canon MP 140s) as an example. It is an all-in-one machine without network function. However, it can achieve shared printing by connecting to the computer and setting it accordingly.

On a computer with a printer, do the following:

Enter-find the printer and fax directly, and enter.

If you cannot find the Printer and Fax entry in the start menu, you can find it in the start-Settings-Control Panel.

Enter the printer and fax center.

After that, click the key on the printer-Select the share shown above. Then go to the following printer sharing interface.

Click "share this printer", name it "lichaoMP140", then click the "OK" button, and then return to the Printer and Fax Center.

At this point, basically, the printer sharing usage has been set to half. The next thing to do is how other computers in the local area network find printers and use them.

Second, how do other computers in the LAN find and use shared printers?

How do I set up printer sharing? How do other LAN computers view printers that have just been set up for sharing? The original way is to get into the network neighbor-check the entire network workgroup and slowly look for a shared printer.

The above methods of finding printers are not recommended here. Here's how to quickly find a printer in the same driveway. The method is as follows:

Let's go back to the computer with the printer. What we need here is the IP address of the computer with the printer. How to obtain the IP is as follows:

For a computer with a printer, start-run, type "cmd enter", hit enter, then type "ipconfig" in the pop-up interface, and then hit enter, and the first line is the computer's IP address.

At this point, you must use the IP address obtained from the note-taking home. For example, 192.168.1.103 above is the IP address of the computer with the printer.

With the IP address of the computer where the printer is located, it is easy to find shared printers on computers in other Lans.

The above is how to set up LAN printer sharing. How do I set up printer sharing? I hope it will help you!

At the end of this article, I hope it will be helpful to you.
