Mark,
I've been watching this thread because I have had the same frustrating
experiences with sharing printers over wireless networks for months! The
link you included below is an invaluable resource! Thank you. That site
has got to be the most valuable home networking resource site I've seen. I
was able to resolve my printer sharing with just a simple (left out) step
of enabling netbios.
Thanks,
Tom Fosson

You don't need the CD or wireless, just better tutorials and plainer
information methinks. Yes, File and Printer sharing must be enabled,
there must be folders available, every computer must belong to the same
group and have a unique name, firewalls must allow passage, anti-virus
must be configured, XP firewall disabled, etc. etc.
And you have to reboot every time you make a change, what a pita!
It's worth it in the long run, once you've got it down you'll wonder why
it was so hard in the first place.
Go here for the specific step you missed above:
