windows 7 sharing printer to xp secure

Office XP won't print to USB printer in Windows 7
location: winsecrets.com - date: June 22, 2012
Just installed Office Xp in a new Win7 laptop. Word and Excel won't find the USB printer to print to. Wordpad, Firefox and Adobe Reader will. Is Office Xp incompatible with Windows 7? There is a "trial" version of Office included in the computer that I've never opened.

Sharing files between Windows 7 and XP Home
location: 7forums.com - date: January 5, 2010
(sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it) I am unable to share files from my XP Home PC on Windows 7. I can however share those from Windows 7 on the XP PC! I have explored all the relevant settings I can find in Windows 7 and no change. I have both PC's in the same workgroup and I login into each with the same username/password. I have file sharing set-up on both. I have tried it with Network discovery turned on and turned off. I haven't created a Homegroup on Windows 7 as I asume that is just for sharing with another Windows 7 PC. In any case it tells me I can't set it up without IPv6 configured. Tho' puzzlingly the n/w card shows that IPv6 IS configured! Both have the same security installed i.e., Windows firewall

It seems to be, in part, a firewall issue with me. Stopping the xp firewall and w7 can access the shares. I need to see what aspects are the preventers and thought I'd got it enabling netbios, but no.   Stopping the w7 firewewall does not ley xp see w7, and a user name and password is demanded, that I had not set up   Well done Microsoft, an evening wasted.

I am having what seems to be a very common issue - Windows 7 computer unable to access a shared printer connected to an XP Home machine. I have tried tried several of the "fixes" suggested in this forum but no luck. Here is the configuration. I have an HP printer connected to an XP Home machine. The printer is shared and I can access it from another desktop (XP Home) connected to the local network via a cable and a laptop (XP Professional) connected via a wireless connection. I have another Windows 7 laptop (Lenovo X61 tablet) where I am having trouble. First, I can see the computer and printer in the networking section. When I click on the printer to access it I get an "Windows cannot connect to the printer, Access i
