I admit I assumed we were talking about all Linux machines. If you want
to do cups printing using ipp protocol to work from a XP machine you
need to run IIS (Internet Information Services) on the XP machine. Then
that machine will use ipp (cups protocol)) for handling printers.
Sharing the Windows printers will allow the XP machine to be a print
server just as a Linux machine would using the Windows drivers. 
I have too admit I have never tried this (IIS does not run by default
when your install XP) but that is what the documentation says.
