Help Finding Printer on Network

Ok, So I have a XP computer that is hooked up to a printer which I want to
print from using a Vista computer. But this Vista wont find the computer or
the printer. I also have a second computer with Vista that finds it
perfectly find and can print from it. I dont understand why one of my
computers can find the printer while the other vista one cannot. And from
the XP computer, I can see the both computers, yet that first one cannot find
that XP computer no matter what I do. Any help? (if that made sense)
