Hi,
I have a similar setup. I think you need to look at Samba which enables file
and printer sharing between Linux and winxx machines. Mind you I'm not a
guru and its been a long time since I set the stuff up.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Samba is working. Using Konqueror I
can enter smb://Addie and see the shares on the comp. Additional
information: The computer is part of a domain (flecks.us).

On the Windows side did you give sharing permission to Addie's printer?

I have two WinXP printers on remote machines and had this problem until
I shared them (gave the share command as administrator on the WinXP
machines).
