Thanks for your response.
I had already done what you suggested. When I look
at "Printers and Faxes" there is the printer and there is
a hand under it (showing that it is shared). My problem
is that when I am on the other computer and I want to add
a printer which is that shared one. It cannot find it.
HOwever if I go to Network neighborhood, and select
computers in my work group. Then I find that computer
with the shared printer it. If I then click on that
computer it asks for an account and password. I used
administrator and its password for that computer and then
I get a window with the hard drives and printers. When I
then add a computer I can find that one, set it up and
print to it. However, later (after rebooting etc.) When I
look at that printer (which is shared by the other one) I
get the message that "Access denied, cannot connect". I
don't think that I should have to log onto the other
computer each time I want to use the computer. I keep
thinking I am missing something.
