For cups, port is 631.
For Samba, 137-139, 445
But I doubt you have to open any port in XP to use it as a client, if
it's a firewall problem it's more likely on the server side.
For cups, if your virtualbox machine is on it's own subnet, you need to
have in cups config:
Allow From @LOCAL
and advertise cups server with:
ServerName [cups-server-IP]
Only thing to check on XP is the "Internet printing client" (or
something like that) from "add or remove Windows features" in "add and
remove program" control panel (all names are pure invention, but you get
the idea about what to look for). I think this feature is selected as a
default, but not sure and (happily) I don't have any windows around to
check.
