Hello   Sumit Sharma6，

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

To share a printer between Windows 11 and Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

1. Connect the printer to the computer that will be sharing it.
2. Open the "Settings" app on the computer that the printer is connected to.
3. Click on "Devices" and then "Printers & scanners".
4. Select the printer you want to share and click on "Manage".
5. Click on "Printer properties" and then the "Sharing" tab.
6. Check the box next to "Share this printer" and give it a share name.
7. Click on "OK" to save the changes.

Now, on the other computer(s) that you want to connect to the shared printer, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the "Settings" app.
2. Click on "Devices" and then "Printers & scanners".
3. Click on "Add a printer or scanner".
4. Select "The printer that I want isn't listed".
5. Select "Select a shared printer by name" and enter the share name of the printer.
6. Click on "Next" and follow the prompts to install the printer.

I hope the information above is helpful.
