I've read thru related posts but nothing suggested seems to be working. I
have two computers - one running XP Home but SP2 has not been installed. It
is running Norton Antivirus and Internet Security. The other running XP Pro
with SP2 with firewall on. Printer is connected to the home computer and
shared. When adding a network printer to the XP Pro computer, it can find the
workgroup and the computer, but not the printer. I've checked both firewalls
and they allow exceptions for file and printer sharing. I have turned
firewalls off on both and still cannot find the printer. Please tell me what
to do next.
