[QUOTE="Kaham, post: 1052183, member: 151522"] Right, its been a while since I've done this, but since the setup works here (HP 5150), at least it is possible. I think that all that I did was go to the printer options in XP, and selected the printer -> properties and enabled sharing. (So these steps are pretty much similar to sharing a printer with other Windows users.) Then, in Mac OSX, I went to System Preferences, then the Printer & Fax panel. Click on the + icon to add a printer. A new window should open where you can select the printer. There should be a tab labeled "windows", after which you can navigate through your network to select the workgroup->your XP machine->shared printer. Make sure any firewall on XP allows access to the printer! Hope it helps, if not, let me know. [/QUOTE]
