Printer Shared But Not Showing In "My Network Places"

Today I discuss A printer sharing problem. A printer which is attached my workgroup pc and that printer is shared for other. But A problem here, when I want to access that shared printer from another workgroup PC  by using "my network places", that workgroup pc don't show that shared printer but it's showing other shared file. I checked the printer is sharing and full control for everyone. But Strangely when I access that workgroup pc using IP from "run" option (such as \\192.168.x.x) then it is showing that shared printer and also othter share file. But it is not showing when I use "my network places" for accessing that workgroup pc.

Here is a solution for that problem.

Just restart your "Computer Browser" service. To restart your computer browser service, please go to "run" option and then type "services.msc" (without quotation mark). Now you get services console. Now find out the "computer browser" service and then select restart.

Hope completing the all of this process, you will get rid from that problem. If you encounter any problem to restart that service, then open the "task manager" and kill the process named "services.exe" After kill the process just log off your system for one time to start that process again. Hope that service restart successfully now. And now you will get your shared printer using "my network places".

[To open "Task Manager" just right click the task bar and select "Task Manager". After open the task manager select "Process" tab ]


Thanks for staying me.
