Notebook is in LAN and when I try "add a printer" and browse for network printers it doesn't see any - it sees workstations which host that printers, but not their printers. OS is XP, notebook is joined in domain. Anything else concerning network is working just fine. Help? Thanks.

Also, make sure that the built in XP firewall is disabled. You can also check to make sure that the print spooler service has not stopped on the computer sharing the printer.
