I'm trying to share a printer between my two computers at home. Both are running XP, and both are connected to a router, which in turn connects to my cable modem. I've run the wizard on both computers. One one computer (the one with the printer), I can ping the other, but I can't access it. On the other computer (the one without the printer), I can't ping it or access it. On both when I try to access the other I get the " this computer is not accessible, you might not have permission, blah, blah" error. I've setup the printer for sharing. On the computer without the printer, when I go to add a printer, I tell it to search for one, and the other computer shows up, but no the printer connected to it. I feel like there must be some trick to what I'm doing wrong. Both use the same workgroup name, have the compatible IP addresses, etc. Please help.
