Windows 7 shared printers

I have a home network with one computer running Windows 7 Professional, one
other is running XPwSP3 and another running Windows 7 RC. I am unable to
print from the other computers. I think it is a Homegroup problem because
the XP computer can't join a Homegroup. If I stop the Homegroup will I be
able to share printers the old fashioned way? I am tired of copying files to
a flash drive and moving it over to print!

I'd remove the homegroup and put the Win7 PC(s) in a workgroup. Then you
will be able to share whatever you want, just as you used to.

Hi
Switch the configuration to Work Network and it probably would OK.
