Homegroup + workgroup

[dougham]

If I connect 2 win 7 PCs in a homegroup, can I also share the printer on one of the Win 7s with an XP PC?
I have been trying to connect the second Win 7 to the other Win z's printer. It can see the printer and ask for the driver, but then gives a "cannot connect" message, as per this attachment.

You will have a better chance getting that to work if you set up a Workgroup network rather than a Homegroup.
