Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Please ask one question at a time. See the site help for guidelines of how to ask questions in this site. See this answer for sharing folders. – user68186 Aug 05 '20 at 18:59

Use the CUPS Admin interface, http:/localhost:631/printers and click on the "Add printer" button. CUPS will let you search the local network (if Windows has shared the printer) or type in the IP Address or hostname of the Windows system. CUPS is the Common Unix Printing System (Common, in that everybody uses it).

No. AskUbuntu is a question and answer site, not a tutorial site. That being said, ensure that Windows has the printer set as "Shared". "How to share Windows printer" is off-topic for AskUbuntu, but an internet search might help. – waltinator Aug 05 '20 at 14:23

You need to set 3 things in Windows:
- Services.msc
- Windows features (turn off and on)
- Advanced sharing
Services are:
- Function Discovery Provider Host
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
Windows features:
- Enable smb 1.0 CIFS file sharing support check all of them
Advanced sharing settings:
- Turn on all printer sharing and network discovery in private and public network
- Change encryption to enable file sharing for devices that use 40-56 bit encryption
