file share. printer sharing does not work xp to xp

[howard]

Have xp professional laptop and xp hom

Trying to make printer share work and file share.

Have tried the installation per microsoft procedures.

my network places - view workgroup computers shows both
computers on workgroup.

shared documents do not show up on the other computer

I assigned the printer to be shared in one computer and
loaded the software in the other computer. They both
show up as individual printers.

How do I get the printers and foders shared?
