Install Webmin.
Once you have Webmin installed and you login, you can click on SERVERS,
then Samba Server, then SWAT - do all your Samba configurations through
there and you will have no worries.

The XP box and MDK box should be in the same workgroup (like home, or
whatever); once you've gotten that bit straight and restarted the smb
services, you can once again use Webmin to configure your printer on the
XP box (click HARDWARE => Printers and follow the directions).

Very simple actually. And fast.
