This was just answered well on the newsgroup comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc

That's more for printing to Unix, and other tcp/ip networked, print servers.

I am just a little confused on how to setup the FreeBSD part.
Try CUPS, which can work with smbclient to print to windows shared 
printers. If you like, just use smbclient alone. If you installed samba 
(which is a good idea in a mixed network like this), you should already 
have it all.

If you share out the printer on the XP box like you would for any other win
box, you can just install/configure apsfilter (in the ports) to print to it.
