Why each option

Two supported tools for sharing a local printer are Devices and Printers in Control Panel and the Set-Printer PowerShell cmdlet.

Anet share from a command prompt

The net share command manages file system and folder shares; it does not enable printer sharing on a Windows 10 system.

BDevices and Printers from Control PanelCorrect

Devices and Printers in Control Panel lets you right-click a printer, open Printer Properties, and enable sharing on the Sharing tab, which is the standard GUI method for sharing a local printer on a Windows machine.

CSet-Print Configuration from Windows PowerShell

Set-PrintConfiguration sets per-printer rendering parameters such as color mode, duplex, and collation - it has no parameter to enable or disable network sharing for a printer.

DSet-Printer from Windows PowerShellCorrect

The Set-Printer PowerShell cmdlet from the PrintManagement module accepts a -Shared $true parameter that programmatically enables printer sharing, making it the correct PowerShell-based complete solution.

EPrinters & scanners from the Settings app

The Printers and scanners page in the modern Windows 10 Settings app does not expose a sharing option directly; printer sharing requires navigating to the Devices and Printers Control Panel applet.
