You'll find that you can probably print to them.  Most likely your
problem is that you have no machine account on the samba
box for the XP and 2k machines.

Do:

smbpasswd -a -m <machinename>

for each XP and 2k machine.

In most *nixs' you'll have to do this first though:

useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false <machinename\$>

since samba needs a unix account to latch onto.
