re: printing, attaching your printer to the mac(hence directly printing
from your mac) and printing from windows via sharing might be better. I
found a hint for that a few weeks ago on macosxhints.com:

10.3: Print from Windows XP to a shared Mac printer
Mon, Feb 16 '04 at 08:55AM • from: tvkeller
There have been hints for that using Jaguar and CUPS. In Panther, it
works without any special work under the hood -- just switch on
"Printer sharing" and "Windows sharing" in the Sharing preferences
panel. In Windows, add a new network printer; you can find it by
browsing. But now the important thing: When Windows asks to select a
driver for the printer, select any PostScript driver like the Apple
LaserWriter or Color LaserWriter instead of the printer model you're
using.

Subject: Printing to a non-IP printer connected to Windows box
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 07:41:47 +0800
Bought myself a cheap Epson C63U the other day which comes with drivers
for Mac OS X and Windows but there's something I just can't do. My
Windows box is my home, on all the time computer, which my printer is
connected to. I'd like to print to it using Windows sharing from my
powerbook. But for the life of me I can't get this set up. The driver
just doesn't show up when choosing a Windows Shared printer.
Any advice? Oh, and Epson refuses to support it. (Their response: Mac
AND Windows? <mental support breakdown>)
