Help with my MacBook using 10.4

I've been struggling with wireless printing from my MacBook, I have an XP Desktop computer connected to my HP PSC 1210v. I've gone through several tutorials, and cannot find the driver needed to use it over my wireless connection, I found another post of a guy who had a similar problem on this forum, but no solution was posted, any help would be appreciated

How is the printer connected to the wireless? Directly to the router? If so, via USB or Ethernet? What router? If not, shared? How?
A bit more details would help a lot.

darn, sorry! Its connected to my XP box, via usb, which is connected to a Belkin Pre-N wireless router, I have set my printer to shared, and can find it from my MB, but none of the pre-installed drivers list that one when I add a printer in system prefs.

Really tired, so sorry if I screw this up. lol

1) Have you tried sharing it using Bonjour? That usually works quite nicely.

2) If I get this right, the printer is connected via USB to an XP Machine, which has it set to share over the network. If so, then you should be able to connect to it from the Mac through the printer preference pane in System Preferences. You'll click add printer and have it search on the network.

Though I'd recommend doing it via Bonjour if you can.

Dont mind me being ignorant, but how would I go about using Bonjour? I have only had my Mac a few months, and am still in the learning phase

Download and install Bonjour for Windows from Apple.

It will make things a whole lot easier. Once it's installed on the PC, the Mac should be able to find the printer without you having to struggle with the settings.

Mac drivers for your printer. From your description, you're not having an issue with networking it with your Mac since you can see it on the PCs share. It just sounds like you need to download that driver

that is correct! I can find it from my desktop, but its here:

that I get stuck, I've installed their drivers, twice, even though its a driver already installed into OS X, and no success!
