Well, hate to say it but I wasn't able to gleen 
anything that I understand that I could fix here 
to this issue.

I do remember getting this same printer working 
across the network before, but don't remember what 
I did.

One thing I see now, though, and not being 
familiar with Xu's interface, not sure it is an 
indication of what I'm seeing, but it does have a 
box checked for "Show printers shared by other 
systems", but I don't see my machine's printer 
there on the remote workstation.

In my own machine's printer config it does have 
Share checked for the printer attached, though.

So now I'm wondering if my machine is not really 
sharing its printer across the network.
