It's much easier to access a printered connected to Linux from XP.  No 
special software is required.  Microsoft doesn't really want you to know 
that, but XP knows how to talk IPP to cups.

Just set up an Internet-connected printer through control panel (forget the 
exact sequence of clickies), and for the address, enter 
http://hostname:631/printers/lp (provided that you've set up the printer as 
the default "lp" printer in Linux).
