Shared printer disappeared from lan

DEAR,
I have a printer connected to a winxp pc it's shared on the network. Yesterday it could be used by the households two other computers. Today it has disappeared from the network. It works perfectly on the pc it's connected to.
I cant find it when browsing shared printers nor connect to it using the name it's name like this:

\\ComputerName\printername

I tried turning off sharing and turn it on again restarting the computer.
What else can I try?

This is a very old thread. I think members should not pull out the old thread as it is generally not encouraged here. Hope this point will be taken serious. :-)

Regards,
Mehdi

This is two years old thread, why are you guys pulling up such an old thread. This is a voilation of Forum rules.

Sorry - I just saw the first response to the thread and thought it to have been posted today as it appeared on recent posts in forum. I did not check the date of original post. Sorry for the mistake.
