I finally managed to share the HP Deskjet 812c connected to my G3 AIO with my Windows XP computer using an article from www.macOSXhints.com. Here's the exact link I used:
http://www.macosxhints.com/ article.php?story=20021101062604548&query=sharing+printers+with+Windows
Using the steps listed in the article, I can print to the DeskJet connected to my AIO. Surprisingly easy considering some of the steps are done in the terminal.
I have a Beige G3 DT at work with 10.2.8 and without GIMPPrint. I'll try connecting to some of the printers there.
At the office we have the following printers:
Connected to a Windows 2000 print server: HP 2000c, HP 4000 (PCL, Postscript)
Connected directly to the network: Tektronix/Xerox Phaser 860DP (Postscript)
Currently I can connect to the Phaser at work, but haven't tried the others yet.

I am new to this list, but not new to computing.
I would like to share printers between my iMac (OSX.3.2) and a PC running XP. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to make this work. I have a Brother HL-1440 hooked up to my iMac, and a Canon i560 attached to the PC. These computers are located on opposite sides of my home, and connect to the internet wirelessly through a Linksys BEFSR41 and a WAP11 (access point). I'd love to print my color pictures from the iMac on the Canon printer, and my black and white text docs from the PC on the laser printer. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how do I configure the two computers to achieve it.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
