If the printer is a network printer then connect it to the router.

Yes, it is. On printer A, set up the printer as a network printer, then change your internet options to allow others to print to your computer. The exact process is different depending on the versions of windows you are working with.

Does your printer have an ethernet (network) port? If it does, connected it to the router and configure both XP & the mac to print via TCP/IP.
If it does not have an ethernet port then you can get a print server (wired or wireless) for the printer, then again configure both computers to print via TCP/IP.

Just share the printer from your XP Computer. You will have to go Settings ---> Control Panel--->Printers and other harware---> Printers and Faxes ---> Right Click on the printer you want to share --->Properties ---> Sharing ---> Share this printer. This will share your printer to everyone on the wireless network.
