Default Network printing

I have an hp5550 printer connected to a PC via a USB
cable. There is another three PC's on the LAN. I have
shared the printer on the first PC but I am unable to
connect to it via the other PC's.
Any advice would be welcome
Regards

Default Network printing

Can each PC 'see' each other's files and folders? If not you have a network
configuration problem, not a printing one!

So let's get the network configured correctly BEFORE we start to add
additional items like printers!

See: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ilesharing.htm
I'm assuming here that all four PCs are already on the same Workgroup.

Once they PCs can all see each other, only then can you think about
installing network printers.
