Is there any way to connect to a Windows work group with the iPad? I want to be able to connect and move files and photos from my home Windows XP computer… one would think this was doable and then also share a network printer….
Any ideas? or and I just crazy.. :-)

Even if you could do this, what would you do with the files? Files on the iPad are documents specific to each app. There isn't a general file system, like the Finder. So it would be up to a specific app to connect to something like a Windows Work Group and do something with those files.
I'm not at all familiar with "Windows work groups" so I am not sure how they differ from normal file sharing.
As for sharing a printer, there are some printers that have apps for this. Canon and HP come to mind. Other printers can be accesses with apps like PrintCentral.
Search for an app call file browser....works on file sharing....i use it with my airport extreme...
