Network Printer not showing up

< In an office environment > I have 2 Win ME desktops each hosting an HP printer set to be shared ... Linksys 54g Wireless network with 4 wireless notebook users. Mine is a Dell notebook, XP set to network and share printers and files. When I try to add a printer, the search for network printers does not detect either of the HPs. I have tried both options, local and network to no avail. One of the help boxes suggested typing in the printer address. How do I find my printer address?

The printer address is \\computername\sharename.

Find your computername from system propeties. The sharename on the printer
properties, sharing tab.
