I have two XP's. They are networked using Belkin
products and they are currently communicating (IE and
mail) but I cannot get them to share the printer that is
attached to one of them. How do I configure XP 2 to
print to the printer connected to XP 1?
 
run the home networking wizard on both machines.

on XP1 you will need to open the sharing ports if the Internet Connection
Firewall is enabled
