Standalone printer in a network

I have a network consisting of 3 computers running XP
Pro, and a printer with a network card.

I have used the setup home/office network wizard to share
the internet connection on one computer between all the
others and this all works OK.

I am trying to connect to the printer, but can't find it
on the network when adding a printer.

The printer is set to DHCP and an IP address appears to
have been allocated to it.

I believe it is something to do with ICS, but can't find
anything to help. Can anyone tell me how I can sort this
out please.

Thanks

Nigel
 
Thanks Jim,

It had a static address originally but that wasn't
working either.

The other computers are in a workgroup, does the printer
have to be in the workgroup also, because when searching
to add a printer the only access I appear to have is off
the workgroup name ?
