If you get a message like:
"Operation could not be completed. Access is denied." Some things to check: 1: Turn off "password protected sharing", if this is on, then the XP computer will need to use a username and password from the host OS (Windows 10 or 11) computer, and it needs to be a local account, not an online account. If this is turned off, and permissions are set to allow "Everyone" then no password is required to access that printer or file share. 2: Enable "File Sharing for Devices That Use 40- or 56-Bit Encryption" 3: Enable SMB 1.0/1.1 from Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off. 4: Go to Add Printer, Add printer using 'Local Port', and use the UNC path as the name of the port ( such as "\\P01\HPLT1320" ). https://woshub.com/unable-to-connect-windows-10-shared-printer-to-windows-xp/ | |
