Sharing Printer from Windows 11 (23H2) to previous Windows OS

[WhiteMoon]

As far as I know, Windows now needs password protected user account if you are using local user account. maybe thats the problem? (it was for me on local home network, I wasn't able to share folders)

You can share folders without a password, but W11 network security now requires you to change so many different settings to permit it. Sometimes it's just easier to create a password to avoid the headaches.

Im able to share folders with every computer on the local network. I dont know what did the trick the first time i setup this network but im pretty sure that was the enabling of insecure guest logons.

But now i dont know what else to do, every computer was able to print just fine

Maybe thats it I just couldn't find the correct settings... Would you mind sharing a guide for it? because these seems doesn't make it work.


Giving access to everyone to read and write
Disabling password share
Making home network private or public
Making sure necessary services have firewall premission
Enabling file and printer share and network finding
Enabled insecure guests from regedit and some more settings maybe i forgot
I even created a radminvpn server and joined it

and some more...
