connecting to a network printer

[Terry]

we have a small home network with a lexmark printer connected to PC1. I am
running xp on a laptop. I would like to use the printer. this is what
occurs when I run the add printer wizard.
On the 'local or network printer screen' I select network printer.
'On the specify printer screen' I select browse for printer.
on the next screen it displays all the pc in the network and their
printers. when I select the printer on PC1 I get the error message "access
denied".
what do I need to do to get access to the the printer? ( PC1 is running
Windows 2000)

Thanks for any help.

On pc1 you have to assign rights to the user account on your laptop.

Can you give me specifics on how to do this.

Click on Start - Printers & Faxes (on the PC1). Right click the printer you
wish to share and choose Sharing. Put a check in "Share this printer" and
give the printer a share name in the window. OK your way back out and you
should now be able to access this printer from the laptop.
