Yes, check if that is the case - and whether your default login is to the domain (instead of local machine). If so, only users for whom accounts exist on the DC (domain controller) can login to any machine which is part of that Domain.

No , this server is not a domain , got any way to sharing out the printer without act as a domain?

enable the guest account on the windows server, or create duplicate account and passwords on the server to match the XP boxes that connect.

go into Group Policy and have clients Search the Network for Shared Printers. Set it to Enabled.
