That was a
doddle as 'Tosh' found the Epson XP-335 straight away and would print
and/or scan whenever I asked it to. The problem is that I cannot get
Tosh to find any other device on my network other that the router -
that was no problem either, but finding Nettie, Nova, Experior
'phone or HUAWEI tablet was is a definite No No.
Is there anyone in here who could lead me to and hopefully guide
me through some procedure to unite Tosh with Nettie and Nova on my
network.

How do you want to find them?
There are many ways to do so: mDNS, SMB, some proprietary
protocols.. What did you use in the past?
Do the new devices have software installed that supports these
protocols?
That's probably the biggest part of the problem Marco. My current understanding of IT terminology. When the network was originally
set up I believe it was done by me being guided through the
procedures by a professional IT engineer, who is no longer around. We
used the 'Network Setup Wizard' found in the 'Control Panel' of my XP devices, and once set up seemed fine for some considerable time. I
seem to recollect I had to buy and install a Networking board on
'Nova' but that facility was built into 'Nettie' which was a couple
of years down the line. Your phrase "mDNS, SMB, some proprietary
protocols", is almost gobble-de-gook to me. When I say I'm IT
dyslexic, it's the best way that I can think of, of describing how
my brain reacts to the IT technical jargon. It's something that I
suffer from and it seems to worsen with age. I was hoping that in
Windows 10, there would be some form of 'Network Setup Wizard'
which would be relevantly simple to follow. But I can't even locate
one. All I can find is 'Network and Internet settings' and the
only item that looks relevant to my home network is the 'Network and
Sharing Centre' page, but I can't find a setting that seems relevant
to me connecting 'Tosh' to my computers on my existing network.
'Tosh' is, of course, already connected to the network's router and
printer.

Check if the printer has Ethernet connectivity. Does if it have ip
addresses?
Be aware that XP has IPv6 disabled by default, so it can't be used
(you can enable it in ncpa.cpl --> Properties of LAN connection -->
Install Protocol --> IPv6).
All I am trying to do is to
get "Tosh" (W10) to connect to both Nettie (XP) and Nova(XP). All
three are running from wifi from the same Plusnet router as is the
Epson XP-335 printer.

What do you mean with connect to them?
Windows uses SMB to share files and printers. This must be enabled on
the other computers to make them visible. Also check if the Windows
Firewall is blocking it.
