Did you install the printer driver on the workstation eg Windows printer drivers, and configure them to use the shared network printer name ?

If it is attached to your sme server via the parallel or USB port, then you should select
Location: Local
and then select the correct LPT or USB port.

I do wish people would provide all the story when they ask questions, it would save time wasting with answers that obviously don't apply to their situation.

I think you need to set that network printer up in the Hostnames panel & provide the mac address for the XP NIC.
