That's a good sign the icons are showing up, means the group name is
correct. You are still seeing the XP firewall or your anti-virus
software blocking things though with that message showing up. Try
disabling ZA and Norton.

That means it's seen on the network, but a firewall or anti-virus is
blocking entry.

Yup, if you can't see the Printer icon then the name isn't right. If you
can see the icon from the computer that isn't connected to the printer,
right click on it and choose install. Reboot after every network
adjustment, and remember it takes time for the network to initialize
when you first open the Network Places window, and again when you click
on an folder icon for the first time.
