Default Printer Sharing

In the Windows 7, run "net share" and in the XP run "net view
\\'windows7IPaddresse'". Post back the result here.

Not Vista, but both sides... XP and Windows 7. This is the only "Sharing"
place found.
On the 7 machine I have a printer that is shared, but it can not be seen
by the
XP machine. On the XP machine I do a Add Printer, the 7 machine name is
found
but there are no printers there to select.

Both machines are in the same workgroup.

Any thoughts, or suggestion for a more appropriate newsgroup?
