    Have two computers networked together, both running windows XP, and each has a printer hooked to it. One is parallel and the other USB. Sharing files is no problem but sharing printers is. On the NO 1 computer, I can print to either printer but on the NO 2 it will only print to the one attached to it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you elected to share Printer #1? Have you gone to Printers and Faxes on Computer #2 and added a new printer, specifying network, and browsing to Printer #1 on Computer #1?

    Yep!

    Control pannel: Printers and faxes: click on add a printer then run: Add Printer Wizard and check what applies to your setup.

    Another problem may br firewall settings, firewall may block seeing & sharing of the printer in Question.
