Q: Connecting Win7 PC to iMac USB Printer

Until yesterday, I had a printer attached (USB connection) to a Time Capsule, and our Windows 7 laptop saw the printer and would print to it. But due to ongoing problems with Airport portion not always wanted to communicate with our satellite internet, I switched to a separate router and shutdown the Airport portion. The Mac was able to print to the printer, but the Win7 PC could not. So I moved the printer (USB connection) to the iMac, but I still cannot get the Win7 PC to see the printer. I have tried a number of methods but have been unsuccessful.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion or a post that might help? I found a Microsoft post which I tried, but it did not match what the current software does. I am using OS X 10.11.6.

 

I am planning on dumping the Win7 system in the future and purchase new Macs, but until then, I need help.
