Hi,
What is the printer model?
What error message do you get when trying to connect to the shared printer?
Thanks

I cannot seem to get my label printer shared on my new computer successfully. I recently upgraded my old computer, as they were unable to support the Windows 11 change, and with that has come a massive headache in trying to get my printers, that were working flawlessly, working again.
On the host computer, I have network sharing of printers turned on, printer preferences and sharing is also turned on. I am on a private network, downloaded printer drivers on both the host computer and other computers trying to access it.
I am really struggling to figure out why they are not allowing the connection, especially because it worked on windows 10, and was so easy to setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In this case, you'll need to get the IP address of the computer sharing the printer.
All computers must be configured this way:
Go to the Start menu > Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet or Wi-Fi network > Select Private mode.
Then go back to the previous menu and select Advanced network settings > Advanced sharing settings.
Check Network discovery, File and printer sharing.
In the All networks tab, check Share public folders.
Uncheck Password protected sharing.
All that has already been done.
Restart the PC, access Windows Explorer and type \<IP address of the computer sharing the printer> and see if the connection appears or if it asks for credentials.
Let me know here.
Thanks
