Default Sharing Printer with a Mac

My mom had a Windows XP computer with a HP LaserJet connected to it shared
with my iMac, I was able to print to it fine. She just recently upgraded to a
new Windows Vista PC and i am no longer able to print to it. A Windows XP
laptop is able to see and print to it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have these turned on in Network and Sharing Center (in Control
Panel):

Network discovery
Printer sharing

If not, give that a try.

Thanks,
Gloria

Those functions are enabled. These types of things are why I switched to a Mac.
