If the shared printer doesn't automatically appear in the list of available printers, you can try adding it manually. Go to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Printers & scanners" on the client computer, click on "Add a printer or scanner," and then select "The printer that I want isn't listed." Follow the prompts to add the printer manually by entering its network path.
Ensure that the printer drivers are up to date on both the host and client computers. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues.
If both computers are part of a HomeGroup, you can try sharing the printer through HomeGroup settings. Open "Control Panel" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "HomeGroup" and ensure printer sharing is enabled.
Make sure AV or, Firewall is not blocking it.
