Printer Sharing on Network - I can find shared printers in Vista, but not XP!?

[Chazzer3]

Hi Everyone,

Yes, I'm back with another question I guess. This time, about shared printers over wireless networks.

I have a computer on the imaginative MSHOME network, with a printer set to 'shared'. Now, on my computer, I used to dual boot Vista, and I could print wonderfully from that, onto this printer, I was amazed at how quick and easy it was.

I ended up removing that Vista boot because, a) it wasn't that useful for me, and, b) it was taking up 20GB of my HD.

So, now I'm back on good old XP and I am wanting to use this printer again. But cannot find it. I go on to 'add a printer', and I search for network printers, but the printer never appears.

This may be connected but I'm not sure, when I try to look at Workgroup computers in 'My Network Places' it tells me that MSHOME is not accessible? Or something like that?!

Hopefully someone can help me!

Thanks in advance,

Charlie -
