Default Printer sharing was OK, now it isn't!

My computers have been happily chatting away with each other and sharing
printing without any problems. Main machine is Vista Premium and the second
Windows XP.

I had some trouble with my printer, so I had to reinstall the software,
since then I can't get the XP computer to do any printing.

Print sharing is enabled and the XPcomputer appears correctly in Vista's
Network and Sharing Centre. I am absolutely lost!

Can you re-add the shared printer?

Selecting Add printer- Workgroup name appears, but nothing else!

Do a simple test. Can you ping remote computer by IP?
