Question

How can i access my Windows 10 connected Brother printer and shared Folders in Ubuntu?

PS. Same Network

Answer 1

Use the CUPS Admin interface, http:/localhost:631/printers and click on the "Add printer" button. CUPS will let you search the local network (if Windows has shared the printer) or type in the IP Address or hostname of the Windows system. CUPS is the Common Unix Printing System (Common, in that everybody uses it).

Answer 2

You need to set 3 things in Windows:

• Services.msc
• Windows features (turn off and on)
• Advanced sharing

Services are:

• Function Discovery Provider Host
• Function Discovery Resource Publication
• SSDP Discovery
• UPnP Device Host

Windows features:

• Enable smb 1.0 CIFS file sharing support check all of them

Advanced sharing settings:

• Turn on all printer sharing and network discovery in private and public network
• Change encryption to enable file sharing for devices that use 40-56 bit encryption
