Regedit settings for printer sharing rely on Network Discovery being enabled. Network Discovery allows computers to see each other on the network, which is essential for broadcasting printer availability. If Network Discovery is disabled, even correct regedit settings might not make the printer visible. Ensure Network Discovery is turned on in Network and Sharing Center for proper printer sharing functionality.
