Printer Sharing in Windows XP

by smartin . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Hi, I’ve just installed a new network running a Windows NT 4 server, service pack 6 and Windows XP workstations. I have a HP LaserJet 5 that is connected locally to a XP workstation. (The printer does not have a nic card and I’m trying to avoid getting an external print server). I’m trying to share this printer with other xp workstations. I’ve set up the printer as a shared printer, and made sure that the firewall on the WAN connection was disabled. I also made sure that the file and printsharing service is installed however when I view the domain I am able to see the workstation on both the NT server and other XP workstations, but not the printer that I’m trying to share. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
