TW,

I just got back from a customer's house on the main line who had this issue.

Mac OS X has CUPS. Grab 1.2rc1 from www.cups.org, install on the Mac, and share out the printer from there.

Set up the shared printer as an Apple Color Laserwriter 12/600 on the XP box.

You will then have happy printer sharing.

And in case y'all are wondering, I did this on an Intel-based iMac Core Duo, so I know it will work with both Intel and PPC-based macs.
