Newer Windows versions have improved and they detect and connect to a network printer much easier than XP. Unfortunately, half the times Windows XP do not even detect the shared printer and this can only be resolved if you run the setup program and allow it to find the printer. While in Windows 7 and newer you just search for a new printer and download the driver automatically from the host, in XP this is not always the case. You have to download the run the setup program for the specific printer.
