Check if the following conditions are met:
1. Open the guest user2. The same workgroup
3. Install the "NWLink ipX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport PRotocol" protocol
4. Delete the Guest account in the "Deny access to this computer from the network" item in group policy
5. Make sure The "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" item is checked in the "Local Area Connection" properties of the print server. 6. Precautions for
Internet Connection Firewall When setting up printer sharing, you should pay attention to several items: 1. Turn on the guest user, because the guest user is prohibited in some security settings! Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the total number of guest users is valid. There will also be an option in the guest settings to require the next login to change the password, this option should be removed. That's what causes good times and bad. 2. In order to make the sharing of the printer smooth, we must install the "File and Printer Sharing Protocol" on both the host and the client. The NETbios protocol should be checked to see if it is installed, if not, remember to install it. 3. Phenomenon 1: Network Neighborhood cannot browse normally . To share printers in Windows XP, the first thing to do is not to install a network printer directly in the workstation, but to check the item "View Workgroup Computers" in "Network Neighborhood" Check whether you can browse normally and whether there is a computer with a printer installed (hereinafter referred to as the print server). If the print server can be found, it means that the basic conditions for sharing the printer are in place, and if an error occurs, the problem should be resolved first.
Solution: On the premise of confirming that the name of the LAN workgroup is the same, enter the "Local Area Connection" property window, click the "Install" button to add the "NWLink ipX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport PRotocol" protocol, and now you can solve the problem of not being able to view the work without restarting Problems such as "do not have permission to browse such and such workgroup..." after clicking the "View Workgroup Computers" item.
Phenomenon 2: Unable to browse the print server
After you can browse the "Network Neighborhood" normally, you must first double-click the print server icon and enter it to see if the shared printer exists. If it exists, it means that the current workstation has permission to install and print the printer. If you cannot see the shared printer or cannot browse the print server, it means that the current workstation has insufficient permissions.
Solution: This problem needs to be solved from two aspects. One is to open the Guest account in the print server, and then enter "Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Local Policies → User Rights Assignment" in the group policy, and delete "Deny". The Guest account in the "Access this computer from the network" item is enough; the second is to make sure that the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" item is checked in the "Local Area Connection" property of the print server.
Phenomenon 3: The workstation cannot find the shared printer.
This is the most common problem encountered by most LAN users when installing a shared printer in a Windows XP workstation. The usual manifestation is that only the information of "Microsoft Windows Network" appears in the shared printer list. , but the shared printer is not searched.
Solution: There are three solutions to this problem. First, after installing the "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol" protocol for "Local Area Connection", the shared printer can usually be searched; The printer icon, select "Connect" in the pop-up shortcut menu, click the "Yes" button in the pop-up prompt box to quickly install the shared printer; the third is to check whether the "Internet Connection Firewall" is enabled in the "Local Area Connection" of the print server. " function, if it is enabled, please cancel this function, if you want to use the "Internet Connection Firewall" function, but also want to share files and printers, you need to install the NetBEUI protocol (non-routing protocol)
