I would install cups on my intel mac, then set up my hp as an Apple Color Laserwriter 12/600?

Could someone explain this a little more? I am not quite sure how to do this. (although I already installed cups1.2.1)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I set this up once for my Mom. However, I don't remember the exact steps. Set up your mac networking to add in the SMB protocol. I don't remember if that's all you have to do but you should then be able to 'see' the printer attached to the xp.

I have not gone back to that site to try what mbpark described. However that Mac OSx also required years of software updates. Don't know if that also was complicating my solution. But I have almost no time to access a machine that is too many miles away. Any further details on the subject would be appreciated - especially that include what type of networking messages are exchanged by both computers using IP protocols to make printer sharing work.
