Did you do this again once you created the new CUPS printer?

Are they the right drivers? This is what my drivers directory looks
like:

$ find /etc/samba/drivers/
/etc/samba/drivers/
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/ps5ui.dll
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/pscript.hlp
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/pscript.ntf
/etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/3/pscript5.dll

The contents of the drivers/ directory should also be visible if you
run \\Server\print$ from the XP machine.

It looks like you might be installing the NT drivers instead of the XP
ones, which could explain why XP can't find the drivers - all it sees
are old NT ones it doesn't want to use.

I don't know why it would've worked in the past, but perhaps XP
already had drivers it was using instead.
