Win7 and WinXP share printer and FTP settings

Today, the operation of a small LAN operating system, the coexistence of Win7 and WinXP is already very common (just like WinXP and Win98 coexisted for a while). Then the resource sharing between Win7 and WinXP will take a lot of trouble. I have encountered two cases today. After checking a lot of information on the Internet, many of them are speech scams and cannot solve practical problems. After a careful search, I found two posts and solved my problem smoothly. Here, write a note to remember. It is also a reference for more people.

First, Win7 access WinXP shared printer

In many online posts, one is open GUEST account, one is by adding a network port printer. These two, I have tried, the previous one, does not work at all, Win7 can see the WinXP machine, but can not see its shared printer. The latter one, although the WinXP printer was added smoothly, but the printed files are all blank papers, and updating the printer driver has no effect.

Now I will paste the steps below for your reference

Win7 machine side:

1. Open service

Right click on my computer or Computer - Management - Services and Applications, open the service or open with WIN + R - enter services.msc Enter, open the service settings

Open the following services:

Server < Br>

Workstation

Computer Browser

DHCP Client

Remote Procedure Call

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator

DNS Client

Function Discovery Resource Publication

UPnP Device Host

SSDP Discovery

TIP/IP NetBIOSHelper

2, Win7 and WinXP Two machines to be in a workgroup

3. Turn on network sharing and file sharing

Under "Change sharing options for different network profiles", check "Enable network discovery" and "Enable file and printer sharing"

Check the "Allow a program through Windows Firewall Communication" under "Network Discovery" and "File and Printer Sharing." And "family/work (dedicated)" and "public" are checked

4, Win7 should enable Guest account

WinXP machine side:

1, first Enable File and Printer Sharing

Note: The "network monitor driver protocol" in "Protocol" under "Local Area Connection Properties" under "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is also installed. >

2. Start-Run-services.msc- Start the "server service".

3, Group Policy Settings:

Start Menu Run - secpol.msc - Security Settings - Local Policies

User Rights Assignment - "Deny access to this computer from the network" Attribute, delete the "all user groups" inside. The point is to delete the "Guest" account.

Security Options:

Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts, attribute to "deactivate".

Network Access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares, attribute to "deactivate".

Network Access: The sharing and security model for local accounts, with the attribute changed to "Classic - Local users authenticate with their own identity".

4, user management --- start guest user

5, restart WinXP computer.

After the author did the above method, Win7 successfully found the WinXP shared printer in the network share, double-click, follow the prompts to install the printer driver, and successfully set the network printer as the default printer. And can be used normally.
