How do I share a HP USB printer on a Win XP box to been "seen" (and printed to) from my OS X Mac? Both are on the same LAN with a Linksys switch. I can see the Win XP box over my LAN from the Mac, and I can mount the PCs shares for file sharing, but I can't see the USB printer at all. I have Printer Sharing activated on the PC, and it looks like it should work...

    You'll likely have to install Gimp-Print and do it by Samba Printing (I forget exactly how it's done, there was a thread about this exact thing over in the MacNN forums a couple months ago, you may be able to searrch for it.)
