Sharing a printer with an iMac

I am having trouble with printer sharing.  I have an iMac with OS X directly connected to a new Linksys router and a Brother printer, and a new Inspiron 6000 connected wirelessly to the router.  Both computers can access the internet, and the iMac can print documents.  I've tried to follow the directions in KB, but when the Add Printer Wizard browses, it doesn't find any printers.  (Thought the words 'MS Windows Network appear.')  I have turned off my Windows and Norton firewalls, and enabled Windows sharing and Printer sharing in the iMac.  Is there something else I have to do?  Is it possible that my network is not configured in a way that allows the Dell to access the iMac printer?
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.  (I'm getting tired of walking down the hall with my USB drive.)
