I was trying to share my HP 1020 over my big computer, which is always on. It’s a dumb printer just prints local.
On my laptop I could get into the share server but would get “Credentials Supplied Are Not Sufficient” when trying to use “connect”
Eventually I got it right
- Create a local user (lusrmgr.msc) name it something like “printer” and give it a password.
- Then in Control Panel > User Accounts > choose Windows Credentials and add your share name (share server name) and the credentials for the printer user you created earlier.
- Restart the PC.
- On my laptop I logged into my main share server with the PRINTER credentials, there’s all the shared stuff, the HP 1020 is there. Right-click choose “connect” installs and voila, once a restart laptop I can use that printer if I’m on the network at home.
Anyone else in the house can also print to it.
