Windows 7 - cannot see and add shared printer

Hi,

I have 7 computers in the company. All computers are runing XP. I
shared 1 printer in computer A and shared to the network. I can add
this printer in other 4 computers except 2(B and C). I usually will
go
to add printer wizard. I only enter the \\computer_name\, it will
search for me. However, it didnt do it in computer B and C. Computer

i can find computer A but cannot find that printer under computer A.
Also, I cannot find anything even computer A and the printer in
Computer C.

OS: Windows XP is MUCH better than Windows Vista Windows 7 and here are just a few of the problems that prove this to be very true: 1) Incompatibility (Driver / Software handshaking issues) Nearly everything ran super smooth in XP from day one It was a root canal getting even some of the simplest software to run in Vista 2) Desktop Convolution It's a "Muddy appearance." Everything looks the same. You cannot easily an I-net site. It's a horrible experience just looking your screen. 3) Instability XP crashed on me once in over five years. Vista crashed the first day! The list

A note to Windows Vista Team Windows 7 I'm quite angry with Microsoft for releasing Vista before it's ready, I've wasted 8 hours of my time in a small business trying to get it to do something that XP does without fault, i.e. Unziping a file! I'm replacing my desktops with laptops and I won't be buying any more that have Vista on until Service pack 2 comes out. If I had the time, I would send the laptop back to my supplier and get another one with XP on but I've wasted well over 2 days on this new laptop. It's it can be taken back to the retailer for a refund. If everyone took back vista, Microsoft would be in a sorry state now. I'm sure it would cost more
