Can't see printers in directory

Hello,

The shared and network printers aren't showing up in the directories of the
workstations. On XP machines, the network printer does show, but no shared
printers. On Windows 7, no printers show. I need to get this resolved.
Thanks for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

Hello Mark,

Which directories are you talking about? How did you add the printers to
the machines? Please describe some more details.

Best regards

Meinolf,

On XP, in the Printers and Faxes section of the Start menu, click Add a
Printer, select Network Printer, then go to the end of the wizard to a Find
Printers dialog, and click Find Now.

On a Windows 7 machine, it is a different route and format, but the result
should be the same, where a list of all of the network and shared printers
should display. Hope that helps.
