There are two computers set up as peer to peer. On computer 1, it can share
printers, but on the computer 2, it cannot share computer 1's printer. At
one time computer 2 was able to share with computer 1, but when computer 1
was shut down (I am assuming that computer 1 is the main) the share
permissions were lost, so computer 2 cannot access computer 1's printer.
When looking into network neighborhood, you can see computer 1s printer, but
trying to connect computer 2 to be able to access computer 1's printer, it
will not allow it. Any suggestions on this problem with help. Thank you.
 
First, Computer1 must be ON for Computer2 to access the printer.

Second, if you cannot print from Computer2 to Computer1's printer when it's
on, try deleting the printer and then reconnecting it. Also check the
properties on the printer on Computer1 to make sure it is shared and no
permissions are setup to deny printing.
