Have you installed Bonjour for Windows? Makes things a lot less of a hassle.
If you're not using Bonjour you'll need to using a postscript driver on the XP machine, I've used a laserwriter driver in the past.

Under Properties>Advanced>Driver for the printer in Windows, you have to have a generic Apple LaserWriter printer driver selected, not the actual driver for the printer. For example, my Epson 1280 is set up as an Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 and my Samsung ML-1710 is set up as an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS. You'll be limited to very basic settings for the printer but as long as you're not trying to do 1440 dpi Photoshop prints, you'll be OK.
