computers use the “

WORKGROUP

” as the SMB workgroup name in Windows. 

Please assign the same SMB name to your print server. If print server uses the different 
SMB name from computers’, the SMB printing won’t active. 

 

 

2.  Now you can find the print server from the SMB workgroup of Windows. Then, double 

click it.
