Help needed!
The solution that worked fine with a Win 7 PC (enable LPD Print Service on PC; input on Macbook the printer address as lpd://IP address of PC/Printer name) does not work anymore after PC upgrading to Win 10. It seems that LPD Print Service is no more supported by Win 10. Has anyone already met this Problem?
Note: both computers are on the same domestic wi-fi network. The printer is connected to the Win 10 PC via USB port.
Now, waiting for valuable suggestion to solve the problem, I downgraded the PC to Win 7 and all is going well as before the upgrading to Win 10.

I suggest submitting your question to a Windows forum. Our sister forum "Windows Secrets Forum" is where you need to go. Windows 10 is new and folks are still adjusting to it.
