Apple OSx to a Windows XP printer

Yes it was. Tiger fixed a LOT of printing issues.

You need to configure CUPS to allow printer sharing from that, and then use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) to connect to the printer at http://<ip address>:631, but as an Apple Laser Printer so you can print PostScript. At least that's what I found with someone who utilizes his ThinkPad T42 at home to print to a Canon i9900 attached to his iMac (Intel Core Duo processor).

To get to a specific folder, you need go to Connect To Server, and specify: smb://<Computer name>/<Share Name>/<Subdirectory>
