How to connect Network Printer in XP

[Alvin]

How can I connect a XP Professional computer to a peer to
peer network shared printer? The computer can access the
network and internet with no problem, but can't use the
shared printer.

Thanks

Alvin

The target printer must be marked as shared.
Start>>printers and faxes>>add printer>>network printer>>
browse for printer>>choose printer>>set as default>>set preferences.
Thats all I did to get mine setup.
good luck
