How to connect a MAC to a printer on XP?
Im running 10.6.8
The xp box is networked to the mac (just a shared folder).
I can connect the printer directly to the Mac via USB, works like a treat. But I need the printer to be shared out from the xp box.

Take a look at this article. Although it primarily talks about Vista, the same applies when sharing a printer from a PC running XP.

Hi,

I keep getting the below error:

Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error.
