IP address is not in the same network segment XP system how to share printers on different network segments

Assume that the internal LAN has two subnets "192.168.1*" and "192.168.2.*" and "192.168.2." & rdquo;“192.168.1*” The computer in the segment wants to share the printer, but because the IP address is on a different network segment, the computers in the two network segments cannot share the printer. The following system home Xiaobian will introduce you how to share printers on different network segments. 1. If the IP address of the shared printer is “192.168.2.10”, the computer name is print-hp and the shared printer name is HP. Then, if the computer in the <192.168.1.*” network segment wants to share the printer, it will take two steps. 2. Open the “Command Prompt” window and go to the “C:\\WINNT\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\” directory. Enter “edit hosts”, edit the hosts file, start another line at the end of the file, add “192.168.2.10 print-hp”, save and exit. 3. Click “Start →Set →Printer", in the "Printers" window, double-click “Add Printer”. Go to the "Add Printer Wizard" window and click the “Next” button. In the "Local or Network Printers" selection screen, select “Network Printers", and then click the “Next” button. In the "Find Printers" window, click the “Next” button. Go to the “Browse for Printers” window and type ““\\\\print-hp\\HP” in the “Printers” column, then click the “Next” button and the wizard will automatically install the printer driver. Next, in the “Default Printer” interface, select “Yes . In the “Adding Printer Wizard” screen, click the “Done” button to share the printer across the network segment. The above method is successfully tested under XP system. If you are using other systems, the method is the same, but the specific operation may be different.
