    printer sharing win7 home 64bit to winxp pro laptop


    I cannot get my desktop which is running win 7 home 64bit to connect to my laptop which is running win xp pro sp3. i set the workgroup to home on both machines and still nothing. My laptop will not see the desktop over the network. Any ideas on what i should do?
