Problem: Share HP 8600 Windows 8 for windows xp.

Hello

My HP 8600 (pro more) connected to windows 8 computer via usb.

The printer is shared.

From a windows machine 7 (on the same network) I have no problem to print.

But since a windows xp, I just can't. When I try to print something, nothing happens.

The xp behaves as it has printed the document correctly (no errors occur), but the printer does not print.

However, I was able to print the page 'Test' for the XP. and I can access the properties of the printer.

With my old printer, it didn't happen (I was able to print the XP).

I have already tried:

1. install drivers xp on the xp machine.

2. I have connected the printer directly to the xp machine (in this case, I was able to print the XP). and then hand it over to the windows 8. It did not work.

3. in the properties of sharing, I played with the option 'make the print job on the customer '. It does not solve the problem.

Thank you

Use the following steps on the XP machine:
Start > settings

Printers and faxes

Add a printer > next

Local printer > next
Creating a Port > Port Local, \\Computername\Printername

(use the name of real share for Win8 computer printer) > OK
