Byron -
Do you where one can change the XP_SP2 firewall at the granularity you have indicated?
Also, do I need to make any changes to my D-Link Wireless Router's firewall?

Problem solved! It was the damn M$ Firewall on my wife's computer! Yes, allow Printing and Fax was checked in the Exceptions, but for some unknown reason it did not allow the printing to go through.
LPD is probably not be considered "printing" from the standpoint of MS. Not sure IPP is either -- have to check.
Turned off the Firewall and the spooled pages came flying out! Even though I know just enough to keep my Linux servers running (actually, once they are up I am able forget them until we lose power

Just allow 515/tcp and 515/udp through for LPD, and 631/tcp and 631/udp for IPP. This is not difficult to do at all for XPSP2's firewall.

P.S. Also note, SMB changes whether you use the [not-so] encrypted RPC (port 445) or not (various ports).
