in #tutorial7 years ago

Here's a trick that I use everyday in the office. You can also use this trick to quickly access a network shared resources in a computer such shared folder, drive or shared printer.

Here's how to do it

Step 1
Right click Start menu then choose "Run"

Step 2
In the run window type "\ComputerName" then click "Ok" or press enter. Just change the ComputerName into the computer name of the computer that is hosting the shared printer. HOW TO KNOW THE COMPUTER NAME: In Windows 10 right click "This PC" then choose "Properties" to see the computer name of the computer. If it asked you to type a Username and Password just ask the user of the host computer.

Step 5
You should see something like this if your computer have a compatible driver. It if doesn't have a compatible driver Windows 10 will automatically look for the driver online then install it.

That's it, it is done.
