well after hours i figured out taht the reason i cant share printers is cuz of zonealarm. (it has to be shut down to work). so i figured well ill configure it so that it will accept the ip address. well i THOUGHT i did that but apparently i didnt. on the remote computer i see the comp with the printer but i cant use it. yes i could when zonealarm was down. i got the ips through outlook cuz when i try to run ipconfig it flashes and leaves. when i try to run cmd it gives error. or says ipconfig is not a comman. any help?

What version of windows are you running, AND have you thought about switching to another firewall program?

I am sorry i got it working by configuring the firewalls to allow themselves to "see" the other computers in the network. I did this by adding the ips of each computer.
