Cannot find a specific printer

[Steve]

In Publisher 2003 I cannot find a specific printer to Print on the
peer-to-peer network.
1. The printer displayed at one time & did work.
2. In WinXP Start-->Printer and Faxes this printer is set up properly.
3. The printer works on other PCs.
4. This PC, that cannot find the printer, can find it in WORD.

Any solutions?

Hi Mary,

No Server, it's a peer-to-peer WinXP Pro network.

Do any of the machines have a firewall installed?

 

[Steve]

Yes...WinXP Firewall & probably Symantec.

Yes...WinXP Firewall & probably Symantec.

A badly-configured firewall can often stop one computer seeing another's
resources, or a computer's resources being seen from another.

If you have the Symantec Firewall, turn off the Windows XP. Only one
software firewall per computer...
