Question on XP firewall & sharing printer.

I have a wireless home network and other than my router firewall I use the
built in Win XP firewall. However when I need to send a print job to my
printer, I have to disable the Win XP firewall in order to get it to print.
How can I configure it so I don't have to do this? I checked the Advanced
settings but I'm not sure how to "Add" my printer to the list of accessable
items.
Thanks for any advice.
Thanks
Gary
