HI - can anyone advise on the best method of sharing the BOCA printer between two laptops running Tessi at a remote site?
We run the BOCAs on our internal network through ethernet and fixed IP without problems but I need to share the printer between two laptops with a wireless dongle or provided wireless at a remote location.
I set up printer with USB connection and can Test Print from Windows and print from Tessi.
I then shared the printer through a home group. But once it appears on the second laptop I can no longer print a test print from either laptop?
As anyone any advice on the best way to configure the BOCAs or Windows 8 in this scenario or what the issue might be?
Thanks
Justin
Hi Justin,
I assume you've double checked it's still using the text mode drivers?
Can you share it to the other computer without the Homegroup? eg \\machinename\printersharename
You also might need to check the Windows firewall settings to ensure printer sharing is allowed (all the stuff the Homegroup is supposed to take care of)
Cheers
Damien
