Can they file share? If not, then John Navas has the solution. Otherwise,
it's a specific printer problem.

I'll ask some newbie questions.... I also have a HP USB printer also. ;-)
Did you set up the printer as a network printer, if applicable? And is
sharing enabled?
Did you install the HP software on the remote computer and would it search
for the networked printer?
I seem to remember that I had to install the software first and then wait
until it told me to plug up the printer.
So the firewalls allow the computers see one another and will allow the CD
drives to be seen also? Did you set up sharing for both computers?

later,
