Connection method for sharing printers on different network segments of LAN in Win7 environment

Network printers allow us to print on one printer under the same LAN, and a LAN may have two network segments, so the IP network segment connecting the shared printers is different, such as a network segment of 192.168. 1.*, the other is 10.24.*. How do computers on different network segments share the connection of the printer? Read below to learn how to share printers on different segments of the LAN.

steps:

1, first of all need to connect to modify the Hosts file on the computer printer (printer is not already connected to the computer), Hosts file in C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ drivers Under \\etc, some Win7 open the file prompts "No permission to modify", please right click on the "Notepad" icon in the attached file, select “ run with administrator privileges ” , then open the file in Notepad can modify saved;

2, open the hosts file, add the IP address and computer name of the computer where the printer, such as format FIG remains between, two computer name and ip address spaces;

3, the & ldquo; network and sharing Center & rdquo; opening in & ldquo; & rdquo ;, the local connection and select & ldquo; attribute & rdquo; ;

4, then select & ldquo in the property; Internet protocol version 4 & rdquo ;, then the & ldquo; click options, and then click the & ldquo;; property & rdquo advanced & rdquo ; options;

5, and finally in the & ldquo; WINS & rd quo; option card, click Enable & ldquo; After NetBIOS & rdquo ;;

on the TCP /IP set up, then the & ldquo; running input & rdquo; in input & ldquo;. \\\\ 10.24 * *.**” Enter to display the shared printer, double-click on the printer icon to install the driver, use the printer inside the LAN. A car as shown in

END

The following pictures above method is different LAN segments of the shared printer, LAN will not appear under normal circumstances two segments If there is, then this LAN may have two or more departments and companies.
