Hi!
We need to set up a Windows 2003 as a print server and the printers
are shared on WinXP Workstations.
There are no Active Directory Server.
If you have more than a tiny handful of workstations, install & configure AD
and join all machines to the domain. Your life will be much, much easier.
Is it possible?
Yes, of course.
Can someone direct me to some howto or describe the
steps I need to do?
I shared the printer on the Workstation and i can print directly from
the server that should be the print server.
That isn't relevant here ....
Then, I shared that printer on the server and mapped from another
workstation. When i send a print job, I get error 5, Access denied on
Event view.
Thankyou in advance.

You do not share a printer on a workstation if you're planning to use a
centralized print server. You can't "re-share" a shared printer.
All your printers should have Ethernet ports (be natively networkable) if
you want to do this.
Install them on the server using standard TCP/IP ports and the correct
drivers from the mfr.
Share them
Connect users to the shares
AD really has nothing to do with this - but my comments above stand.
