I’m having trouble connecting to a shared printer. I have a desktop running XP with a Laserjet 1300 directly connected to it. I shared the printer out giving Everyone permission to it. I have File and Print sharing turned on on the Local Area Connection and have even gone through and disabled the Windows Firewall. I’ve gone into Shared Folders under System Tools and have selected the printing under Shares and gave Everyone full permission that way as well. I still can not add the printer from other computers. I’ve tried adding it via IP address through creating a new TCP/IP port. I’ve tried adding it by going \\ComputerName\PrinterName, but everytime I try I am told it doesn’t exist. I can ping the computer. I can print using the computer it’s connected to. But I can not find it when it’s shared. I’ve tried deleting the printer, re-adding it and resharing it, but still nothing. Any suggestions on where to go next?
