Jaguar Mac to Print to Windows 2000 USB Printer?

Hey all, I'm hoping someone here could help, I've got an iBook running Jaguar and I'm trying to have it print to a USB printer hooked up to a WIndows 2000 PC.



Bascially, the two computers are connected together wirelessly. That part I've got working no problems, I've managed to connect the Mac into the PC via SMB using the standard "Connect to Server". So I can mount the Windows machine hard drive on to my OS X desktop and flip files back and forth.



The problem is, how do I get the Mac to "see" the USB printer on the PC? I've got the USB printer set to share, but I do not see it in the print center. Just in case it matters, the printer is an HP PSC 950. If anyone could offer some insight into this, would greatly appreciate it.
