Todd: I do not know what your problem is. But it's not XP Home Edition.
I'm using that and have a 5 PC LAN with four different printers on
four of those PC"s and I have them all (four) shared an all five
PC's. They are all running XP Home Edition.
In one case, an All-In-One Printer, I had to take some special
action as suggested by HP Technical Support:
=== Enabling sharing for the All-in-One products ===
Follow the steps below to enable print sharing for the All-in-One
products. In Windows XP, you must be logged on as an administrator
to make these changes.
1. Install the All-in-One product by following the directions
provided with it.
2. After installing the All-in-One product, click Start and then
Printers and Faxes.
3. Right-click the printer icon for the All-in-One product and select
Sharing on the menu. The Properties will appear with the Sharing
tab on top.
4. Click the option to share the printer, and then enter a unique
name for the printer in the Share Name field. Write this name
down exactly as it is entered because it will be required to
set up the remote computers. Click OK to finish the setup.
=== Setup using Windows Point-and-Print ===
Follow the steps below to install the All-in-One product on a remote
computer using the Point and Print method:
1. Click Start, and then click Search.
2. In the list of search types, click A computer on the network.
3. Type in the name of the computer the All-in-One is connected to.
4. Click Search.
5. When the computer is found, double-click it.
6. Double-click the name of the shared All-in-One product.
7. A Before You Can Use the Printer message appears. Click Yes and
follow the instructions to setup the printer.
Now, try printing.
