error "windows cannot connect to the printer, either the ......."

please help!
I have one epson printer connect to a PC that will share for other PC to use
it, but when I reinstall the windows xp on that PC and share the printer,
other PC cannot use that printer, when I try to install a network printer on
my pc, it says "windows cannot connect to the printer, either the printer
name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection
to the server."

I can see the share printer through network place

please help me to solve this problem, thanks very much!!

Uninstall the printer on BOTH PCs and start from scratch on the first PC.
