Can the Win Me PC still access files and folders on the PC hosting the
printer?

Very odd especially if you could print from Win Me to the PC running XP
prior to installing SP2. SP2 will have enabled the XP firewall unless you
are using certain recent version third party firewalls (such as Zone Alarm
v5.1 or later) but since you say the Win Me PC can access files on the XP
machine this wouldn't seem to be the cause. Just one last idea. Does the
XP PC have an older third party firewall and perhaps have both the third
party firewall and the XP firewall enabled? If so this could possibly be
the cause of the problem as having two firewalls running on the same PC
can cause many unusual problems and I would recommend disabling one of the
firewalls (but NOT both).

Firewall is probably preventing you from printing.
