I have two XP computers, each with a printer. A wanted to network each
printer with the other computer. One computer is shared fine the other
printer. The other computer cannot find the shared printer name when
browsing for a printer. What's up with that?

Did you actually share the second printer? Can each PC see the files and
folders of the other PC?
