Hello,

So my problem is the following: I installed a printer on my computer and shared it with a name, for example: toto. Later, I deleted it to install another printer that I would like to assign the same share name to, but the system returns a message like this share name already exists. So what should I do?

Thanks everyone.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    If possible, reinstall the old printer in sharing mode, check if it works. Then remove the sharing, and only then remove the printer from the Control Panel, reboot, and reinstall the new one.
    Otherwise, use another name of course.
