You need to have a suitable print driver; in most cases this means a 
Gimp-Print driver.

To see shared printers on Windows boxes, you need to go into 'Directory 
Access' in Utilities and set your WINS workgroup name the same as the 
workgroup name of the computer sharing the printer.

Postscript printers work fine, other ones it's catch as catch can with 
GimpPrint.

I've never been able to access my wife's Lexmark printer connected to her PC
running XP Home Edition. I would suggest you check

featurectomy /fee`ch*r-ek't*-mee/ n.: The act of removing a feature from a
program. Featurectomies come in two flavors, the `righteous' and the
`reluctant'. Righteous featurectomies are performed because the remover
believes the program would be more elegant without the feature, or there is
already an equivalent and better way to achieve the same end. (Doing so is
not quite the same thing as removing a misfeature.) Reluctant featurectomies
are performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or
execution speed.

Shared printers

[mlh/home]

So, on my network is a PC running Windows XP, a G4 iBook and a G3 iMac 
(both running OSX 10.3.7 or whatever the latest version is).

The XP PC has a printer attached to it (a Canon i470D). I have told XP 
to share the printer.  How do I go about telling the Ibook to use this 
printer (if it can at all)?

My intial thoughts were to d/load the OSX drivers for the printer, 
install them on the iBook, connect to the Printer share & see what 
happens. Is this the best way to go?
