Default Computer does not recognize printer attached to another computer

Are these both Windows XP?

if MOM can see both DAD and MOM in Network Places, you already did the hard
part. The printer should be listed in a Printers and Faxes folder in the DAD
folder. It is not?

On DAD, open Printers and Faxes, right-click on the printer and choose
Properties. What does it say on the Sharing page?

In trying to setup a printer on MOM's computer within the workgroup
(MSHOME),
the computer does not see the printer that's attached to DAD's computer.
The
structure shows this:
- Microsoft Network Group
- DAD
- MOM
I'm expecting to see a printer under DAD that I could use, but there's no
printer name. Could anyone shed some solution?
