Printer on another (non-linux) box? Samba is your friend :).

Don't know much about XP but there will be a MyNetworks or some such where you can set up a home network if you have not already done this.  Somewhere in that there will be an option to add a printer and supply a username and password. 
At least there is on my old ME machine.

Once you have done that in Zenwalk go to Serviceconfig and make sure cups is running then go to Printer Manager and choose
Network Printer - Windows Printer (smb)
Put in the name of server you gave your Windoze box, Printer, username and password above and follow the prompts. 
It was easier for me to access from Zenwalk than another Windoze machine,

Seems you have it but I had already typed this and it might help someone else.

You don't need to install a driver if the one listed has a tick beside it just click apply.

Don't know why the C45 is not there sorry.
You could try the C44UX as it looks like all C** and Color range use the same GIMP-PRINT driver.
