Don't use the Add Printer Wizard. Go to the Network Neighborhood and open you MacOS X Computer's icon. The printer icon ought to be there. Right-click on it and select install. You will have to specify the correct driver for this to work.

BTW, if you are having problems with Windows Files Sharing not staying checked in System Preferences, go to the Accounts preference pane and make sure that at least one user has "Allow user to log in from Windows" Checked.

I have got the icons in XP and went through the install of
the new driver for the XP side. Then once the install finished
it says under the printer icon "Access denied, unable to connect"
Any thoughts on that?

Had much the same problem, I think it could be a permissions thing BUT I changed the printer driver to "generic/text only" on the PC and I can now print (albeit in b/w and courier font). I'm stumped - any other solutions?
