Explanation

In Windows XP, the correct path to share a locally connected printer or multifunction device is through Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. Right-clicking the desired printer and selecting 'Sharing' opens the sharing configuration dialog. 'appwiz.cpl' opens Add/Remove Programs, which is unrelated. Network Connections manages network adapters, not printers. Scanners and Cameras handles image acquisition devices differently and does not provide printer sharing options.
