Unable to connect to a shared printer

Guest

I have a win xp pro system with a shared HP printer. I have another win xp
pro laptop that has no problem connecting to the shared printer.

My problem is with a win xp home computer will cannot see the printer. I
have turned off the firewall on both computer. They are both in the same
workgroup.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

If the XP Pro PCs are not using Simple File Sharing, you will have to add
the UserName and Password of the XP Home PC to the XP Pro CD that's got the
printer attached.
