Hello Tech gurus
In my office the printer is attached to a windows 7 desktop and I am using it trough my laptop (Windows 10). It was working just fine until recently. Now my laptop is unable to connect with Windows 7 desktop. I am unable to ping Windows 7 machine, on the other hand my laptop (Win 10) can be pinged from the desktop. The Desktop (Win 7) has all the necessary settings enabled for printer/file and networking sharing. I tried the solutions suggested on different posts, but problem still persists. Please help.
