Hello,

I am on Windows 10 and I would like to share my printer with my husband's PC, which is running Windows 7.

I managed to do it with his old PC which was on Windows XP, and now I am unable to do it; I don't remember the procedure and I'm struggling.

Could you explain to me simply how to proceed?
Thank you for your help.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 43.0

Now I have an error message 0x00000709: check that the printer name is correct and that the printer is connected to the network.

  ok
  
  On the W7 PC, go to Control Panel === Network and Sharing Center === View network computers and devices, you should see the W10 PC
  
  If you double-click on it, you should see the printer.

    Hello,
    I'm starting from scratch.
    In the Windows 7 PC, after Network and Sharing Center, I don't see "view computers and network devices."
    I see a house icon with the name given to the Wi-Fi.

  Hi
  
  Are you going to mess with people for a long time with your back and forth?
  
  You are discouraging resources on one forum and going back to another... and Versailles high school
  
  As for your question, that's not where it is, and I've already told you..
  
  But it's certain that trying to catch two hares at once leads to confusion..

The printer is properly connected to the router, it's on the PCs that I don't know what to do!

  You must first install the drivers on each PC
  What is your Internet provider?

I made a mistake, the printer is not connected to the box but to the outlet.
My ISP is Free and the printer is a HP Photosmart C4680.

  Here is a tutorial for Free by connecting the printer via USB to the box

  It's a multifunction device; it won't be able to scan if it's connected to the box.

  Yes, but it still prints; to scan, you just need to reconnect it to the tower.

  :-) ... do you find that practical??
  
  It is assumed that it is shared under W10 since it worked with the XP PC
  
  Under W7, you just need to go to Control Panel === Devices and Printers === Add a printer and follow the wizard
  
  That said, I don't see the connection between the USB-connected printer and Wi-Fi???

Hello,
it's a USB printer...
what does that have to do with the WiFi in the title?
You share it over the network on your PC, giving it a share name.
Make sure file and printer sharing is enabled, as well as the network set to private (not public).
On the other PC, install a network printer and enter the UNC address:
\\PC name\printer share name or the PC's IP address, if it's fixed instead of the name.

and ... There you go!

Printer sharing is enabled.
When I click add a printer on my husband's PC, add a network printer, no printer was found.
When I click on the printer I want that is not listed, I read:
Searching for a printer by name or TCP/IP address
- Searching for a printer
- Select a shared printer
- View a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname.

What should I do?

  Are you sure the printer is shared?
  
  On the W10 PC do:
  
  Press and hold the Windows key, press the R key and release them both
  
  Type (or copy/paste to avoid typing mistakes) in the dialog box that opened
  
  cmd /k net share > int.txt & notepad int.txt
  
  then click on Ok
  
  Copy/paste what appears on the screen into your next response.

Le nom d'hôte est un identifiant unique attribué à un appareil connecté à un réseau, généralement sous la forme d'un nom convivial pour faciliter son identification. Pour trouver l'adresse IP de votre imprimante, vous pouvez :

1. Vérifier le panneau de contrôle de l'imprimante : souvent, l'adresse IP est affichée dans les paramètres de réseau.
2. Imprimer une page de configuration : la plupart des imprimantes ont une option pour imprimer une page qui inclut des informations de réseau, y compris l'adresse IP.
3. Utiliser le logiciel de l'imprimante : si vous avez installé un logiciel lié à l'imprimante sur votre ordinateur, vous pouvez y trouver l'adresse IP dans les paramètres ou l'interface de gestion.
4. Accéder à votre routeur : en vous connectant à l'interface du routeur, vous pouvez vérifier la liste des appareils connectés et trouver l'adresse IP de l'imprimante.

  I see my printer three times, because I have copy 1 and copy 2 with an exclamation point on them!
  I don't remember what I did.
  Documents are pending, unable to print.

  You must have done 3 installations ...
  you can remove two, or even all 3 and restart the installation.
  do you have a firewall on your PC?
