I am running two machines, both XP home edition. I just
installed an HP 1350 printer on machine "A", and set its
properties to "shared". It works fine on "A", but is not
visible from the "B" machine. "B" has an HP laserjet
1200 attached to it, and it is visible and useable
from "A". Recently, before installing the 1350, I
enabled firewalls on both "A" and "B". Could this be the
problem? Any other suggestions?

Hello
Yes you will need to disable the firewalls.
Then open you Printers and Fax page on B and click add a printer and the
wizard will walk you through the setup
