File sharing issue
I assume no firewall is blocking traffic (windows XP, Symantec or any 3rd
party firewall)
Assure yourself that all computers have EXACT same workgroup name.
Try running the XP networking wizard from the desktop again.
Check your LAN IP on the desktop. Is it in the correct range.
(start/run/cmd/ type in ipconfig /all hit enter and note IP address. If it's
a 169 series, do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew in the cmd prompt
window.
If you can't access desktop (assume that's where printer is connected) you
won't be able to share printer.
Printer issue.
be certain that you have file and print sharing enabled on all computers.
on the computer connected directly to the printer, be sure to "share" the
printer.
on other computers (assuming they are all the same OS), just add printer,
network printer (not local) and browse to printer.
Done.
Good luck
