### Step 7
## In this process we are formally connecting to the shared printer on the network.
In "Enter a port name" We are going to type the location/host path of the printer being hosted in Windows 10 that you want to connect to. Don't click OK yet, we have to type the path first, PROCEED to Step 8

### Step 8
I am connecting to the printer Canon MP280 being hosted on the computer named PC2 so I am going to use/type "\\PC2\Canon MP280 series Printer" in this step. You should know the name of the computer hosting the printer and the name of the shared printer so that you can connect to it correctly. After typing the path, click OK
