connecting a printer

[Will]

Hi sue,

It shouldn't matter about OS, I would first check
the network properties on each computer connected to your
system to see if you are running the NetBEUI protocol on
your other computers, if so then install the NetBEUI
protocol on your XP system as well.

sometimes this will keep a computer from sharing a
printer. Good Luck & I hope this helps.

After I re-read the original post, I realized that the second paragraph
in my reply isn't on point. But as for Will's response, see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306059 that says
that NETBEUI is not supported for XP and is not normally installed.
