If I may add to this: If you would like to have your printer attached to the Windows box and like to use it as a shared printer on your LAN, you can do so. You need to install and enable Samba on your Linux box. Share the printer on the XP side, edit your smb.conf file, you will be ready to go. You can start here for Samba help http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/samba.shtml samba.org has all the documentation. Raghu

If you need printing from XP you might try the 'Windoze' drivers from hp.com or your cd, :). If you're looking to install linux and then run HPLIP then you might check out any of the supported linux distributions etc. HPLIP does not run in/on Windows natively.
