I am trying to share a printer on a Windows 2000 machine
so that it can be used by other machines that running XP
on the same home network. I share the printer, but the XP
machines don't see it. Is there a way for my XP machines
to use the printer?

Thank You, Ed
 
First of all do the two PCs see each other's files and folders?

Is the User Name of the XP PC added as a User Account on the 2000 PC and
vice versa?

Until the network is correctly configured, you cannot add a network printer.

Once this is done, follow the instructions at:

Just remember that XP is very similar to 2000 in the way it does things...
but both are very different from Win9x/ME.
