I assume that this is the reason why I am unable to setup cups printer hooked to windows 10 usb on the same LAN, which I could access before this clean install of Mageia 7.
With Dolphin, I can access files on that Winndows 10 connected on the same LAN as shown in the 3rd captured screen. (both efrat on jf-ssd and jacob on jf-ssd)
Below is the related section of smb.conf
load printers = yes

netbios name = SSDPC
hosts allow = 10.0.0.
