this problem is not muti-users on one station. It is network wide, no one can
access this printer except the station that the printer is slaved from. All
of the stations list the printer. When the printer was first installed, all
we did was to install and share it and it worked perfectly from all stations
until we moved it to another station.

I have a XP Media Center PC with a HP2610 All-in-One printer attached via USB.
The PC is connected via Ethernet to a Linksys wireless router.
I have shared the printer, entered share printer under the XP Firewall
exceptions.
I have two other PCs in the house that access the Linksys wirelessly.
Neither can access the printer.

on the Kitchen PC, when I try to add printer,
It actually shows under the list as a shared printer , but when I try to
add it, a pop-up appears --Connect to server - asking for username and
password. I enter a valid user/psw, also tried the guest account, but get
errors such as "access denied", "user not set up for access....",

The second PC is a laptop, the printer does not appear under the list, so I
specify the \\PC\Printer and the pop-up for username/password appears. This
time an error:
"windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed"

Similar issues when trying to access shared folders.
Help!

I have tried all of the entries found here under "access is denied."

The latest was to try and add the printer using a local port, but a
\\computer\printername as the port name.
Once again it brought up an error
"Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer".

I found this procedure on another posting, and it fixed the problem:

The guest account should have been enabled when you ran the Network Setup
Wizard on XP. Did you have some other software that disabled the guest
account?
