Share printers.

W10x64 system and W10x86 system printer sharing method, the original configuration environment of the two computers and the printer is as follows:

1. A W10X86 machine has been connected to the printer normally, and the following can be seen when viewing the printer.

From the control panel, enter the --- printer properties --- share --- share this printer (tick) -- present the print job on the client computer (tick) must be ticked, if you don't let it play, please follow the steps below:

Please click on "Network & Sharing Center" above. Go to "Network and Sharing Center" -- click on the left directory "Change Advanced Sharing Settings" -- start operating "Advanced Sharing Settings". In the "Advanced Sharing Settings" - Private Options, Guest or Public Options, All Network Options, all three of these are enabled. --Note that the password in all network options ---set to "Turn off password protection sharing"] to continue back to the sharing interface with two checks. Click on the driver --- other drivers below --- see if the x64 and x86 drivers are installed, if "no", please insert the driver disc or driver wizard** printer driver installation.

The unit is a w10x64 machine, so the system is done, and only the other three machines with the same network are seen when you enter the network. This is because the sharing option for the machine is not yet enabled.

Follow these steps: [Click on "Network and Sharing Center" above. Go to "Network and Sharing Center" -- click on the left directory "Change Advanced Sharing Settings" -- start operating "Advanced Sharing Settings". In the "Advanced Sharing Settings" - Private Options, Guest or Public Options, All Network Options, all three of these are enabled. --Note that the password in all network options ---set to "turn off password protection sharing"] After the sharing is set, click on the network, you can find the winx86 machine, and then click to enter. You can see the shared printer, then click on the printer and the driver will be automatically installed on the w10x64 computer. After the driver is installed--- you can find the shared printer in the control panel --- in the device printing.

3. The general idea is:

a, two computers should be able to see each other in the network. In other words, the first three digits of the IP segment must be the same. 2 computers connected to the same switch or router.

b. Both computers should be equipped with the corresponding driver of the printer that needs to be shared.

c, the names of the two computers must be determined clearly, if there are too many computers in the network, the names are confusing, it is not easy to find the machine directly connected to the printer.
