Home Network Print Problem - Need help - Works fine on 2 of 3 computer
Hi -
Hopefully someone has some ideas as to why I am having the issue that I am experiencing.
Here is a rundown of the three computers -
1) Personal Desktop - Win 10 - MS Defender - Workgroup:WORKGROUP
2) Personal Laptop- Lenovo - Win 10- MS Defender - Workgroup:WORKGROUP
3) Work Laptop -Dell - Win 10 - Symantec Endpoint - Domain:GALEN
Personal Linux Print server (Netgear ReadyNAS) - Workgroup:MSHome
The Print server is set for sharing and all three computers have Discovery/File sharing enabled.
Computers 1 & 2 work flawlessly recognizing and using the shared network printer on my local network.
However...
Computer 3 struggles to 'see' the network printer. Sometimes it works, but 99% of the time computer 3 never finds the print server. I disabled the Symantec Virus tool but this did not fix the problem. I am wondering whether the fact that computer 3 is on a domain is causing my problem. I thought that setting the printer and computers for 'sharing' would mean that the domain/workgroup is a non-issue. Is this correct?
Does anyone have some tips for solving my printer access problem?
Thanks -
Jim
