The drivers are still there.

Try sharing the printer again. I'm assuming it's plugged into the XP machine, so do this:

Go to Printers and Faxes again
Right click on the HP printer, select Properties
Go to the second tab at top; Sharing
Ensure that 'Share this Printer' is selected.

See if that changes anything.
