Default Printer insanity

Im trying to create a shared printer for a client.

Basically the printer is connected to an XP machine, the two laptops are connected via a wireless network.

I made the printer in question shared on the XP machince connected to the router via cable.

One laptop has XP the other Vista, I added the printer to both machines and the printer is seen as the defualt printer.

But When I hit print a test document or print anything, it states that the document was sent to the printer, yet nothing happens. Nothing printer, the printer is on but it shows nothing doing, all machines show no document was ever sent to the printer by the printer status box...

I have no idea why it would do that..

Edited

So theres an XP machine directly hooked up to the USB printer and 2 other laptops are feeding off that host? if yes you might want to try turning file sharing on to have permissions to the printer on the XP machine and turn file sharing on both of your laptops. i had to do this with my printer only my situation was i had an xp machine with the printer on it and a vista laptop on it... its a similar sinario but i dont think having a 2nd laptop in the mix would change it much.

Cheers!
