Printer Sharing stopped working

V

Hi:
I did 'Printer Sharing' with three PCs, that are 'wireless connection' by
using 'wireless adaptors.' However, it stopped working after having tried
with two PCs that are 'hard-wired/Ethernet Cable' connection.

Wonder what went wrong?

Most importantly, how to fix this?
Because, I want to get the Printer Sharing with three PCs that have
'wireless connection.'

Thanks for any help on this, in advance.

You need to post a lot more detail info, e.g.
- Where is the printer physically connected to? PC1, PC2, PC3, a printer
server?
- What is the output of the command
ipconfig /all
on each of the three PCs?
- How many NICs on each PC? Are all of them enabled? (Note: Wireless
adapters count as one NIC)
- Can you share folders between any of the PCs to any of the other PCs?

Thanks for the response.

The printer is connected with PC1 that is wireless connection by using
wireless adaptor, not single PC are internally installed 'wireless.' All of
three PCs are using 'Wireless Adaptor' to get 'wireless connection.'

One thing I forgot to mention is that there are two different IP addresses,
one for 'Wireless PCs' and another for 'Wired PCs.'

I never need File/folder sharing. I want only Printer Sharing.

The Printer-sharing stopped working, was after I tried to make
Printer-sharing with PCs that are 'hard-wired/Ethernet Cable.'
