Then I'm 99.999999% certain you have a firewall problem on the new machine

Double-check the Windows firewall has the file and print exception enabled.

If it's not the windows firewall, then look for another firewall.
Do you have any 3-rd party security software installed?

Also, most VPN software has a firewall built into it.
