Win XP Printer Sharing

A

Avenger©

Gooday Everyone,

I've searched posts here and can't find the exact answer for my
problem, so here goes.

Two systems running WindowsXP Pro, ICS is setup okay and works fine,
can share internet and email etc. However, for the life of me I cannot
get either computer to recognize their network printers (ie: Epson on
one and HP other).

When I run add printer on each system, the gateway system doesn't see
the other printer on the network. When I start the setup wizard, I get
to Microsoft Windows Network, then Workgroup, then NEWCOMPUTER
(gateway system), then the printer attached to the gateway system is
shown okay.

The networked (non gateway) system shows up as OLDCOMPUTER, however
there are no printers listed in the setup window.

On the non gateway system (OLDCOMPUTER), when I run the printer setup
wizard, it shows only Microsoft Windows Network and nothing else, no
printer nor recognizes the gateway system. I also cannot access files
between the two computers.

I have shares setup so that each computer is allowed file and printer
sharing.

Can anyone steer me to where the problem is.

Thanks for your time.
