Are both PCs in the same Workgroup?

Is the printer set to be shared?

yes-the crazy thing is i set the work groups to workgroup (how original) but
on both computers, the work group name is automaticlly changed to msn
network-don't know how to stop it from doing that-however both still have the
same name even when the computer changes the name
