I haven't had any problems on the XP Home machine it's installed on in the
household. However, windows firewall seems to be a REAL bastard about
letting SMB shares be seen over the network, at least using NetBIOS name
resolution - connecting directly to the IP SEEMS to work. My CUPS
configuration and SMB shares on my SuSE 9.1 Linux laptop stopped working
after the SP2 update, even though I have File/Printer Sharing turned on for
the XP box and enabled in the firewall. Probably just gonna turn the
stupid security center garbage off and disable the firewall.
