Cannot recognizing printing

I have two computers both running Win XP and have the exact same
computer specs.

The printer is attached to my husband's computer which is working
perfectly fine. We had no problems sharing and printing from it until
I accidentally deleted the printer from my computer.

Now when I add the printer using the "Add printer wizard",
clicked on "A network printer..."
then selected "Browse printer" and its searching for it but the
printer doesn't appear, only "Microsoft Windows Network"

This is the same method we did it last time with no problems. Only
when I deleted the printer from my computer it's not seeing it. I've
uninstalled, reinstalled the printer on his computer, I've also been
reading the forums for the past couple of days and I've also renamed
the shared name with no luck.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
Have you tried accessing the printer directly using the UNC path (i.e
\\yourhusbandscomputername\printer share name)? Also, I am assuming there
are no other problems.
