HomeGroup printer sharing issues

Yes, please look for a current driver online and install it.

On the machine that is connected to the bridge's WiFi the printer can be found but upon installation tells me I need to manually install driver (I'd assume look online).

I would do a reboot if you have not done this yet.

The machine that is connected to the gateway's WiFi still does not recognize the printer on the network or in the Homegroup.

I do have the printer driver installed and the one machine can print to the printer on the homegroup. Now just the other one. Upon a reboot the laptop still does not recognize the printer on the network or the homegroup. DNS are 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76

At least we've eliminated this one.

Just to verify, the DNS'es are set to Obtain DNS server address automatically and not manually assigned?

Upon a reboot the laptop still does not recognize the printer on the network or the homegroup. DNS are 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76

Whether they are set to use specific ones or obtain them automatically it still does not work. The laptop I just fixed I specifically set the DNS'es and it worked fine. Not so much here. Also I only changed iPv4 on the other laptop and it worked. I shouldn't have to touch iPv6 correct?

EDIT: Just verified through ipconfig/all output that my DNS are 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76 when the option is set to obtain them automatically. I don't know if this helps.

Yes, this should be untouched. "I shouldn't have to touch iPv6 correct?"

Can you please do a TCP/IP reset on the problem computer?

Then, another ipconfig/all output please, thanks.

Here is the ipconfig/all output after using the NetShell utility.

Thanks for the latest info that you've provided.

From Chris-PC computer, are you able to access other network shared resources such as shared folder or shared drive? Please give this a try if you haven't.

Also, please create an identical UserName and Password from Chris-PC and the computer that's connected to the shared network printer.

From Chris-PC computer, click on the Start button> Run> In Open: type the IP Address of the computer where the printer is connected to, for example \\10.0.0.5\ press enter after. Can you see the shared printer? What happens if you click on it? Is there an error? Please let me know the outcome. See attached image.

Damn doing \\10.0.0.179\ in the Run window found the printer, installed the driver and can now print from that laptop. WOW! Thank you so much sir, for both your awesome help and fast respones!
