Default XP Printing to Shared ME Printer

I have a small network with a Lexmark Z22 Shared on an ME machine. All of the
computers are networked through a 4 port Netgear wireless router. All of the
98 machines can print to the printer with no problems. I have a Dell
Lattitude laptop (wireless) that originally had XP Pro Service pack 1. This
computer had no issue setting upor printing. Since then I have added SR2 and
Norton w/ Security (Win firewall disabled) Still no problems printing. I just
aquired a Dell Inspirion laptop (Wireless) Win XP Home SR2. I have tried to
setup the shared printer. I can see the printer on the computer and the
printer installed, but when I print to it it did nothing. Sent a test page
and it quickly gave back an error that it couldn't print. Double checked all
of the printer settings between the 2 dells and found no differences.

I have since downloaded Lexmark driver for XP and it tried to install after
downloading. It made it most of the way through the install then gave an
error saying that it could not connect to the printer. "windows cannot
connect to the printer. either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the
specified printer has lost its connection to the server. for more info, click
help"

The shared name is PRINTER.

I have turned off Windows Firewall, still does not work (Now that I used the
downloaded Lexmark driver it always tries to use that file setup for that
printer -- so I get an install that ends with the connection error and no
printer gets installed).

Any help would be appreciated
