My printer is connected to the Windows 7 PC. I would like to add the printer to my XP PC. However, my XP PC couldn't see the Windows 7 PC. Well, Windows 7 has a concept called Homegroup. It seems that Homegroup is only used for Windows 7. So, what I have to do is to leave the Homegroup, then join the Workgroup.
If you go to Network section in control panel, there's an option to leave the Homegroup.
To change the Workgroup, click the start button, right click on Computer and choose Properties. Change the workgroup, then restart the computer.
Next, what I have to do is to activate the printer sharing (right click on printer name).
That's all the steps needed in Windows 7. Now my XP PC can see the printer attached to Windows 7.
Done.
