WiFi打印机很受欢迎,而且由于大多数家庭家里都有路由器,所以将它们放在任何地方都会很方便。您可以从任何地方打印它,然后继续打印输出。也就是说,如果您正在尝试设置WiFi打印机或已经设置,但Windows无法找到它,那么在这篇文章中,我们将建议一些提示以便您解决它。与此相关的错误消息可能会显示 — Windows无法在您的网络(Network)中搜索打印机。
Windows 无法在您的网络(Network)中搜索打印机
该错误消息意味着它无法找到在与计算机连接的网络中发现的(Network)打印机。(Printer)只有当您尝试打印文档时,您才会意识到这一点,而打印机(Printer)没有任何反应。然后当您卸载打印机(Printer)并尝试查找它时,它会显示此错误。由于这是一个网络问题,让我们来看看那些建议——
- 基本故障排除
- 启用网络发现
- 运行打印机疑难解答
- 检查设备是否在同一个网络上(Network)
- 从计算机共享打印机
- 防火墙设置。
逐一按照步骤操作,然后检查哪一个可以解决问题。
1]基本故障排除
(Make)在继续之前,请确保您已经检查了一些基本的事情。插好网线,打开WiFi,打开打印机(Printer)等。很多时候,当打印发送到打印机(Printer)时,它仍然处于等待打印机(Printer)联机的打印队列中。
2]启用网络发现
如果计算机无法进入网络(Network),它将无法找到任何东西。如果与打印机(Printer)一起,您看不到任何其他计算机或其他设备,则 PC 的网络发现设置(network discovery settings)已更改。
- 打开 Windows 10 设置 (Win + I)
- 点击(Click)状态(Status),然后找到一个链接,上面写着网络(Network)和共享中心(Sharing Center)。点击(Click)它
- 它将打开经典的网络(Network)设置。在左侧,点击更改(Change)高级共享设置
- 在访客(Guest)或公共(Public)部分下打开网络(Network)发现和撕裂(Torn)文件(File)和打印机(Printer)共享。
如果您已加入专用网络(Private Network),您将在其中打开发现。所以据此选择
3]运行打印机疑难解答
您可以通过两种方式运行打印机疑难解答(Printer troubleshooter)。一个是通过Windows 设置(Windows Settings),第二个是从运行(Run)提示符(Win + R)。
- 打开 Windows 10 设置
- 导航到打印机和扫描仪
- 在相关设置(Settings)下单击运行(Run)疑难解答
让向导(Wizard)完成该过程,然后再次尝试添加打印机(Printer)。
如果您经常遇到打印机(Printer)问题,您可以打开“运行”(Run)框,键入以下内容并按Enter键。
msdt.exe /id PrinterDiagnostic
它将打开相同的打印机诊断提示(Printer Diagnostic Prompt),但启动速度更快。您还可以选择使用它创建快捷方式并在需要时启动它。
4]检查(Check)打印机(Printer)和计算机(Computer)是否在同一网络上(Network)
计算机只能发现与计算机在同一网络上的打印机。(Printer)我们中的许多人创建了多个 WiFi SSID( multiple WiFi SSID)或名称(Names)。如果您有WiFi 打印机(WiFi Printer),请确保计算机和打印机连接到同一个WiFi。它适用于通过以太网(Ethernet)电缆连接的设备。
5]从计算机共享打印机
如果您有一台连接到计算机的未启用网络的打印机,那么除非它是共享(then unless it is shared)的,否则没有其他人可以使用它。我有没有WiFi或以太网(Ethernet)端口的Brother 打印机。(Brother Printer)只有当我启用共享时,我才能与我的家人共享它。打印机(Printer)在打开并连接到网络时可见。如果您出于某种原因删除了打印机共享状态,那么其他人将看不到它。
- 打开Windows 设置(Windows Settings)( Win + I) 并导航到设备(Devices) > Printer和扫描仪
- 选择打印机(Printer)并单击管理按钮(Manage Button)
- 单击(Click)打印机(Printer)属性,然后切换到共享(Sharing)选项卡。
- 选中显示共享此打印机(Printer)的框,并为其添加名称。
- 单击(Click)确定以使打印机(Printer)可用于网络上的其余计算机。
6]检查防火墙设置
众所周知,防火墙(Firewall)设置会阻止服务和端口。如果第三方服务阻止了计算机上的打印机(Printer),它将无法找到打印机(Printer)。您将需要签入防火墙(Firewall)例外列表以确认。
- 打开 Windows 安全应用
- 切换到防火墙和网络保护(Firewall and network protection)
- 单击(Click)高级设置(Advanced Settings),然后单击UAC提示以打开具有高级安全性的(Advanced Security)Windows Defender 防火墙(Windows Defender Firewall)窗口
- 在入站(Inbound)和出站(Outbound)规则下,检查文件(File)和打印机共享组的(Printer)状态(Status)以查找是否有任何被阻止的内容。
如果您愿意,您还可以将 Windows 防火墙设置重置为默认值(reset Windows Firewall settings to default)。
如果打印机(Printer)不在同一网络(Network)上或已关闭, Windows很有可能无法在您的网络中搜索打印机。(Network)因此,请确保首先通过所有最直接的解决方案,然后再休息。
我希望这篇文章能帮助你解决问题。
Windows could not search your network for Printers
WiFi Printers are popular, and since most of the homеs have a router at home, рυtting them at any place makes it convenient. You can print it from anywherе, and gо ahead, and get the printout. That said, if you are trying tо sеt up a WiFi printer or already have done it, but Windows is not able to find it, then in this post, we will suggest somе tips so you cаn resolve it. The error mеssage related to this may say—Windows could not search your Network for printers.
Windows could not search your Network for Printers
The error message means that it is not able to find the Printer which was discovered in the Network with which the computer is connected. You will only realize it when you try to print a document, and nothing happens with the Printer. Then when you uninstall the Printer and try looking for it, it will reveal this error. Since this is a network issue, let’s take a look at those suggestions-
- Basic Troubleshooting
- Enable Network Discovery
- Run Printer Troubleshooter
- Check if the devices are on the same Network
- Share Printer from Computer
- Firewall Settings.
Follow the steps one by one, and then check which one resolves the problem.
1] Basic Troubleshooting
Make sure you have checked a few basic things before going ahead. The network cable is plugged, and WiFi is turned on, the Printer is turned on, etc. Many a time when the print is sent to the Printer, it remains the print queue waiting for the Printer to come online.
2] Enable Network Discovery
If the computer can not look into the Network, it will not be able to find anything. If along with the Printer, you cannot see any other computer or other devices, then the PC’s network discovery settings have changed.
- Open Windows 10 Settings (Win + I)
- Click on Status, and then find a link which says Network and Sharing Center. Click on it
- It will open the classic Network settings. On the left, click on Change advanced sharing settings
- Turn on Network discover and Torn on File and Printer sharing under Guest or Public section.
If you have joined a Private Network, you will turn on the discovery in that. So choose accordingly
3] Run Printer Troubleshooter
You can run the Printer troubleshooter in two ways. One is through Windows Settings, and the second is from the Run prompt (Win + R).
- Open Windows 10 Settings
- Navigate to Printer and Scanners
- Under Related Settings click on Run the troubleshooter
Let the Wizard complete the process, and try adding the Printer again.
If you get into Printer issue often, you can open the Run box, type the following and press the Enter key.
msdt.exe /id PrinterDiagnostic
It will open the same Printer Diagnostic Prompt, but it is faster to launch. You can also choose to create a shortcut using this and launch it whenever you want it.
4] Check if Printer and Computer are on the same Network
The computer can only discover the Printer which is on the same network as the computer. Many of us create multiple WiFi SSID or Names. If you have a WiFi Printer, make sure the computer and printer are connected to the same WiFi. It applies to devices connected over Ethernet cables.
5] Share Printer from Computer
If you have a non-network enabled printer which is connected to a computer, then unless it is shared, no one else can use it. I have Brother Printer which doesn’t have WiFi or Ethernet port. I can share it with the rest of my family only when I enable sharing. The Printer is visible when it is turned on and connected to the network. If you have, for some reason, removed the printer sharing status, then it will not be visible to others.
- Open Windows Settings (Win + I) and navigate to Devices > Printer & scanners
- Select the Printer and click on Manage Button
- Click on the Printer properties and then switch to the Sharing tab.
- Check the box which says Share this Printer, and add a name to it.
- Click on OK to make the Printer available with the rest of the computers on the network.
6] Check Firewall Settings
The Firewall settings are known to block services and ports. If the third-party service has blocked the Printer on the computer, it will not be able to find the Printer. You will need to check-in the Firewall exception list to confirm.
- Open Windows Security App
- Switch to Firewall and network protection
- Click on the Advanced Settings followed by UAC prompt to open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security window
- Under Inbound and Outbound rules, check the Status of the File and Printer sharing group to find if there is anything blocked.
If you wish, you may also reset Windows Firewall settings to default.
There is a bright chance that Windows could not search your Network for printers is the case where either the Printer is not on the same Network or is turned off. So makes sure to go through all the most straightforward solutions first, followed by rest.
I hope the post helped you to resolve the problem.
