Glad that Puppy Linux worked out for you. As for the printer you will need CUPS and point it to the smb:// URI to your Windows XP machine.
Yes, hopefully I will be able to expand puppy. I did not find much documentation on the net for puppy. Regarding printer, Do I need CUPS to run on puppy machine? Can the printer be shared by SAMBA?
I google searched "printing puppy linux windows share" and this may be what you are looking for http://puppylinux.org/wiki/how-tos/general/genericsharedpostscriptprinteronwindows
In the above link, I think the Windows part of installing ghostscript, redmon etc can be avoided as the OS itself has the necessary sharing utilities and probably is already shared with other XP clients. It is only the Linux machine that needs to be configured.
