Windows 7 can't find shared printer from Mavericks

[eckndu]

Hello, I am having trouble add an osx shared printer to windows 7, could need some help please..

Printer is connected to a Mavericks via USB.
it is sharing some folder and a printer to user "share" with password

on a second mavericks computer, everything is ok

on a windows 7 machine, the folder shared is accessible, but I can't find/add the printer...

I also tried to share the printer to "everyone", didnt work.

now im open to anything??

Here's a walkthrough for sharing a printer on a Mac with a WIn7 PC. It was written for Mac OS X 10.6, but the basic process should be the same or close enough to figure out;

1. Make sure both Mac and PC are using a workgroup titled WORKGROUP
2. Enable printer sharing on the Mac
3. Add a shared printer to Win7
4. The Mac must be on and not sleeping for the printer sharing to work
5. If the printer is sleeping, try waking it up
