Cant find Printer Through a Linksys Router.

This is NOT a wirless router. I use a Belkin (Blue) Wire to connect my vista
premium to my xp.
I cant find my Helwett Packard Deskjet 930c Printer (connected to xp) from
my Vista.
I dont know how i can find it, please help;

Is it set up as a shared printer on your XP system?

Make sure you are in the same workgroup. XP defaults to MSHOME and Vista
defaults to something else I cant think of at the moment. Set your Vista
workgroup to whatever the XP machine is set at.
