 What
is the correct path to your network printer in Windows?
By Mitz
Free
computer Education
This
can apply to Windows XP and Windows Vista
If your network printer attached to a computer on your network
-
you need to type \\
-
then the computer name (the one that has the printer attached)
-
then \
-
then type the name of the printer
-
This is what it looks like .. \\server\hpprinter
If
the computer name was mitz and the printer was bob I would type \\mitz\bob
Notes:
-
When enabling sharing for your printer,
rename it something very easy.
-
Rename your computer name to something easy
also. The default computer name is a mix of your name and numbers, which
is very confusing to re-type when trying to network a printer.
