Sharing printer on network

I have a XP pro machine sharing a HPlaserjet6p. It is
work with all the other machine that are also running XP
Home edition. From the ME machine I can load a network
printer off of one of the XP home machines but I cannot
see any shared document or printers off the XP pro
machine. Any suggestions

Shorten the share-name of the printer to 8 characters or less, no spaces.

Make sure that the XP Pro printer's share name isn't longer than 12
characters and that it contains only letters and numbers.

Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on the
XP Pro machine's local area network connections -- it's for use only
on a direct modem connection to the Internet.
