Networking & Printers W/ XP & Vista

I cannot get my network printer to operate thru either windows seven machine as server or XP machine as server, have to switch wiring back and forth. Windows 7 machine will see other boxes but will not network, share files, or allow a P2P operation, any ideas?

You need to set up your Windows 7 machine so that it's operating in a Workgroup, not in a Homegroup.
