Adding Network Printer

I run a domain and a workgroup over the same LAN. I am trying to connect a
WinXP machine on the domain to a printer that is actually a member of the
work group. I added a workgroup IP to the XP machine and can ping the target
printer and the server on the workgroup but when I try to add the printer to
the XP machine, I get a message says: "Windows cannot connect to the
printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly or the specified
printer has lost its connection to the server."

Any help would be appreciated
 
The printer is OK? I mean, all the other machines can print trough this
one?
Is the printer a network one (like connected directly to the
switch/router)? or is it a shared one?
 
Sorry for the delayed response. The printer is a shared network printer with
a static IP. I've done this before with a Win2K Pro machine but this is the
first time of tried with XP.
