Network printers not showing

I've got a printer problem on a pc with XP it shows no network printers and will not add any when I try to add I get a message something to the effect of cannot run that command (I do not remember it verbatim). So, any ideas why this might be happening or where to look? I've already tried restarting the print spooler services and that did not help.

Please help and thanks in advance

Were they showing previously or is this a new addition to the network? Did you run the Network Wizard and make sure all pc's are in the same Workgroup and each has a unique name?

They showed previously and the pc and printers are on a domain.

I'm going to let glc or someone else more familiar with domain issues jump in here. Group Policy issues and the like can get more complicated than I care to mess with.
