one pc is on vista,the printer is installed on the other pc which is on xp,i understand there may be a conflict, but have had it working so know it can.

Try the following:
Go to Start > Network > Network and Sharing Center.
At Sharing and Discovery, make sure that Printer Sharing is turned on. If that doesn’t solve it, then turn Password Protected Sharing off.
