I assume when you state you've checked the sharing box you mean that you have selected the one in the printer properties on WinXP. Have you tried to delete the printer on the Win2k box and then readd the network printer? Also, do you have a firewall installed on the WinXP computer? It might be that you need to grant the Win2k IP more privledges.

Yes, firewall installed on XP computer (main). How do I reset it to allow the printer to work? Thanks.

Thanks a million! It worked. I had set up the printer for the W2000 machine when it was ATTACHED to that machine. I needed to "Add Printer" and set it up for the printer on the workgroup network. Thank you very much.
