Hello, I'm attempting to add a printer to my network. Though I'm having some problems. What I want is for computer A to share it's printer with computer B.This is what I've tried: I go control panel > printers and faxes > add a printer > tick the button that says "find a printer in the directory". I've search both by name and model and cannot find it from computer B even though I've shared it with the network from computer A.So I try ticking the button beside "connect to this printer" then it opens I box to type and and gives me an example of\\server\printer and I don't know that path to it.So my questions are, How can I search this printer out with option one?andHow can I find the path of where my printer is for option two?Thanks so much,Yoitsmebro1 person needs an answerI do too
