Can't share a printer from XP to ME clients

I have 2 XP PC's and 2 older ME PC's.

The ME PC's login to a Samba domain and run a login script.
The XP machines have not been added to the domain because as yet it screws the roaming profiles up. As such the XP machines are running logon.bat locally and relying on passthrough authentication.

The XP machine's have printers attached which are shared. I've turned off simple file shareing. When trying either browsing through Network neighbourhood or net view from the command line I get refused with a request for IPC$ password or an error 53 I think it was at the command prompt..

The usernames/passwords are identical even down to being lowercase and yet still XP refuses to let the WinME clients passwords through.

The workgroup name is the same name as the domain name and they all appear in the same container.

Help please.

Steve
