Shared Printer Problem

I am having a problem printing on a home network. The printer (Epson Stylus
Color D68 inkjet) is connected by USB to a desktop and is also installed as a
shared printer on a laptop. The network is set up and running properly - the
laptop can connect to the internet via the desktop and file sharing between
the two PCs operates normally. The printer can be seen on both PCs - on the
desktop it is set up to share while on the laptop it shows as a shared
printer (with the icon underlined in yellow). When I send a print job from
the laptop it appears in the print queue on the desktop with status as
“printing†and owner as “guest†but the job never prints. OS is Windows XP
Home SP2.
I have tried the following:-
(1) Reinstalling printer on both machines.
(2) Installing latest Epson driver.
(3) Setting printer to print direct rather than spooling.
(4) Checking that print spooling service is started and set to automatic at
startup.
None of the above has made any difference - can anyone help please?

laptop as a shard printer from my dell pc, I have tried many times to print
nd then it sayd error in printing I deleted all the other drivers in my
