Ideally, you should send FF to localhost:631, which is the cups web page, and 
do an add of a new printer which should be located at 
ipp://address_of_winderz-box:631

I believe that xp supports the IPP protocol, so from there you should be able 
to see the printer, and add it to your local resource list in that manner.
