Anyone have any idea how I would go about setting up file and printer sharing between a XP & Vista machine ?

I've setup printer sharing on 2 XP machines in the past but don't know if I just need to do the same thing with these computers...anyone tried it before?

It makes it sound harder than it actually is but the MAIN thing you need to pay attention to is the workgroup name on the two systems... since you already have at least one, if not 2 XP systems going, I would modify the name on the Vista (bleh) system to MSHOME from WORKGROUP.. for a full description, check out the MS description here (hope links work here - still a newb to this place)
