Can't use 2nd printer on network?

Before reading my problem I'll ask a quick question...is it possible to share more than one printer on an XP network?

Problem: I have a desktop with 2 printers installed by USB cables and both working perfectly. I have setup both printers for sharing.

Downstairs, I have my laptop that I have successfully setup printer 1 and this works fine, i.e. I can print to the desktop printer 1 from my laptop.

I then tried to search for printer 2 on my network, it found it OK and it is setup. However, I cannot print to it! When I try to print something to printer 2 (from my laptop) it just searches and never finds it, despite the fact that it is showing up under the 'Printers' on my laptop control panel.

?????

Any guys out there can help me please?

Cheers
Al
