Windows ME cannot use a shared printer on Win XP

I have 5 PCs connected to a Win XP via peer-to-peer. The
XP has a shared HP Laser connected to the LPT port.

From my Windows ME box, when I try to "add" the printer,
the "browse option" can see my XP box, it can also see the
shared XP folder BUT it cannot see the shared HP laser.

Any ideas?

Note: all of the other workstations can see the printer.
NONE of the other workstations are using ME.

Is the share name less than 12 characters long with no spaces using only
letters and numbers?
