lost connection to network printer and plan to uninstall and reinstall
printer but will be asked for path. How do I find \\servername\printer name
to document from PC before uninstall
Open a command window and type
NET VIEW
wait for a bit and you'll get a listing of the computers on your network.
If you recognize the name of the one the printer's attached to, type
NET VIEW \\[servername]
to get a list of the resources shared from that computer. The sharename of
the printer will be in the leftmost column.
\\[servername]\[sharename] is what you're after.
OR
Control Panel, Printers & Faxes.
Rightclick the printer you're interested in and choose Properties.
On the Ports tab of the properties dialog, look for the port with a checkmark
next to it. That's yer fella.
