cannot add the shared printer
Hi,
I have 7 computers in the company. All computers are runing XP. I shared 1 printer in computer A and shared to the network. I can add this printer in other 4 computers except 2(B and C). I usually will go to add printer wizard. I only enter the \\computer_name\, it will search for me. However, it didnt do it in computer B and C. Computer B i can find computer A but cannot find that printer under computer A. Also, I cannot find anything even computer A and the printer in Computer C. Please help!! Krista

cannot add the shared printer
XP Home or XP Pro. XP Home has a limitation of 5 PCs connecting, XP Pro has
a limitation of 10. I think you're probably exceeding the 5 connection limitation there. Solution is to use XP Pro on the PC with the printer.... or of course, use two printers on two separate PCs. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "krista" wrote in message ...
