I have one Vista PC on my network and it has a printer attached.

How can I make the XP machines see it and print to it?

Set up file/printer sharing on your network. Share the printer out from the
Vista machine. Install the printer drivers on the XP machines.

Excellent, thorough, yet easy to understand article about File/Printer
Sharing in Vista. Includes details about sharing printers as well as files
and folders:
