Network printer problem

I have a group of 10 pc's that I have setup in a workgroup called Unit
1. On PC7, I have physically connected two printers and shared them.
All the pc's can see them and connect to them with no problem except 2.
At one time, they too could print using the network printers but are
now unable. I try to reinstall the printers on the two problem pc's
but they are unable to see the shared printers on the network. The
other 8 pc's have no trouble seeing the shared printers. Any
suggestions?
 
XP Home allows 5 client connections, XP Pro allows 10 client connections.
Check the machine sharing the printers for more than 10 connections. I have
experienced one PC taking up more than one connection when printing from
multiple applications since the application will keep the connection open
until the application is closed.
