We can get 3 computers to work so far, but now our internet keeps droping. I used to have Limewire on my computer but I removed it after the problems started happening. We have replaced the router n checked all the cables everything seems to be ok and the printer is 3 months old. Can it be a virus that got trasgered from my computer to the others through the network?
I work w/ a comp. that has a network to share a printer between 4 Computers. The computers cannot print. Why?agv
In the main computer where the printer is installed, just go to the Printer folder inside of Control Panel. Right click your All in one printer and then Click Sharing. Click on Share this printer in the window that opens and then hit OK.
Get the IP address of your computer, go to Start, Run, type "cmd" enter, type "ipconfig" enter. Write down where it says "Local Area Connection" IP address: "numbers with dots". After this, move to the computer without a printer.
In the other computer, go to Start, Run, type "\\ipaddress\" where ipaddress are the numbers of the 1st computer. When a windows opens asking for a user name and password input those credentials from your computer. If it doesn't ask it will be even better. Now with this command you will open a folder and the printer will be there. Double click the printer and now the 2nd computer will be able to use it.
