The problem is probably coming from user/passwords permission.
My first question is : is the printer directly attached to the XP computer, or is it a network computer? Because the printer name is slightly diffrent.
Now, let's do some non-destructive tests.
If you have the name of the printer, let's say it's \\printer , could you try attaching it from a command line prompt ?
The command line syntax would be :

net use \\printer /user:theuser
Of course, replace "theuser" with the username for a user in the domain having access to the printer in the domain. You will be asked for the password of "theuser".
If this is successful, tell me, we will be able to continue step by step.
