Can not active "Turn on printer sharing" in Network & Sharing cent

Post by R3Vpbmxld » Sat, 25 Aug 2007 18:34:00


On my private network I try to share a printer connected to a PC running with
Vista Premium.
Since printer sharing is off on that PC, I click on the arrow button to
select "Turn on printer sharing". But even after clicking on "Apply", printer
sharing is not activated.
I got no error message.
File sharing is working well.

Where does it come from ?

Thanks

On which computer are you turning on printer sharing? Your post makes it
sound like you are trying to turn on printer sharing from the computer
to which the printer is *not* connected. You need to share out the
printer from the computer to which the printer is connected, not from
the one without the printer.

If you are not doing the above, please post back with what you are
actually doing, including the make/model of your printer and the
operating system running on the computer that has the printer connected
to it.
