Questions[sharing](ubuntu)

sudo gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

has already been attempted, but the issue below prevails.

I have a Windows 10 tablet and a Ubuntu desktop (18.04.2 LTS). The Win10 Tablet has a fresh install with nothing but Discord and VNCViewer installed (realvnc.com). Ubuntu is currently using the built-in Sharing from settings. I have tried connecting via the VNC link (pc-name.local), it was forever stuck on connecting. I instead tried the local IP (192.168.0.13), of which resulted in this message:

Unable to connect to VNC Server using your chosen security setting.

I have tried both Ask For Access and a Password. Both yield the same results. Any ways for me to get around this so I can connect from my tablet to Ubuntu? Thank you.

Under settings, sharing there is no option for Screen Sharing however on another machine with exactly the same image there is an option for Screen Sharing. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 on one computer and Windows 7 on another. The Ubuntu computer has a printer attached, and I want to add this printer to the Windows 7 computer. Printing locally works. The problem is that Windows is not able to see the shared printer, so I cannot add it.

I am guessing that some Ubuntu setting / software is still missing, but what exactly?
How can I make Windows add this printer?

• In the CUPS web front-end, the checkbox Share printers connected to this system is checked. I'm not sure whether the checkbox Allow printing from the Internet needs to be checked also; I've tried both settings, and neither worked.

• On Windows, I can connect to the CUPS web front-end and see the printer listed (see screenshot below). And yet, when I add that printer URL, Windows complains that it cannot connect to the printer.

• The Ubuntu computer is a fresh install. I already have full write access on Windows shares, so something of this kind must be preconfigured out-of-the-box. I have not installed or changed any applications or settings regarding Samba or smb.conf. Do I need to do anything in this regard (on Ubuntu 11.10!) or is that obsolete or already included and fully configured?

• Googling for this problem gives me plenty of material dated 2005-2009 but nothing newer. I don't think that's still valid in 2012 and I don't want to mess up my new installation with outdated instructions. Via one of the comments I came to this page about network printing from Windows but it does not specify whether Samba is already installed -- or which Samba to install, because searching in the Ubuntu Software Center yields several results.

Is there a GUI for selecting which folders are shared via NFS?

I have a Brother HL-2040 plugged into my Ubuntu 10.04 machine and an HP DeskJet 6540 plugged into a Windows 7 machine on the same network. Out of the box the Windows machine does not see the Ubuntu-attached printer and the Ubuntu machine does not see the Windows-attached printer.

I right clicked and Shared each printer on its own machine. I selected System --> Administration --> Printing --> Server --> Settings and checked the publish printer and show other printer options. I believe I set up sharing on the Windows machine as well. Still, neither machine see the other printer.

How do I set up printer sharing, so that each machine can see the other printer?
