Howdy, I don't run Windows XP anymore but I don't recall ever having an issuing printing to remote machines or to my local, Host printer. As a test, I just printed my from Win7 Guest to the USB printer on my Linux Host and it worked. I am presenting the printer via Samba. Is the remote printer on a Window's machine or a Window's machine? I'm having a wee bit of trouble grok'ing what you wrote above. :) Exactly what is the issue you're getting? I'm not a windows person so I may not be able to help ... one thought though: have you disabled the firewall on Windows XP?
