Printer sharing was OK, now it isn't!

[Rosie]

My computers have been happily chatting away with each other and sharing
printing without any problems. Main machine is Vista Premium and the second
Windows XP.

I had some trouble with my printer, so I had to reinstall the software,
since then I can't get the XP computer to do any printing.

Print sharing is enabled and the XPcomputer appears correctly in Vista's
Network and Sharing Centre. I am absolutely lost!

Can you re-add the shared printer?

Selecting Add printer- Workgroup name appears, but nothing else!

Do a simple test. Can you ping remote computer by IP?
