Shared Printer Problem

I have a printer connected to a Windows XP Pro machine.
The printer is shared, and this share seems to work fine
with any other computer on our network, including other
machines running XP Pro. I just bought a new computer
running XP Pro, and it is unable to see the share printed
when browsing for printers. If I enter the share name
manually it asks me for a valid username and password.
This does not happen when connecting from any other
machine. BTW, our network OS is SBS 4.5 if that matters.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

Thanks,

Keith
 
To access a shared resource on an XP computer from a second computer, you
have to use a user account and password known on the first computer, or if
the user account is a Domain user account, the user account must be a member
of a group that is permitted to use the shared printer.

If you logon at this new computer with the same user account and password
that you use on one of the computers that can print to the shared printer,
can that user print?
