My XP can't see the Vista shared printer

I am running the final version (upgrade) of vista business, and have
installed and shared an HP color laserjet 2500. My Wife wants to print to it
from her XP pc, but the XP can't see the Vista pc. I have tried to turn of
the firewall, without any luck.

It worked when I had my old XP installation - both were in mshome workgroup.

Check out if sharing is ON in Vista. Because it may be not active.
