Printer/File sharing w/OS X

I've got a G4 cube networked with a few Powerbooks (OS X) and Windows XP machines. I downloaded Xamba to take care of file sharing, but what would be the best way to share the printer on the cube with everyone?

please advise

thanks

Dave allows PC users to use printers on a Mac in OS X over the network (assuming XP drivers are available).

It doesn't work the other way around though. 🙁
 


<< i'de prefer something free 🙂i'll look at Samba in a sec, would it share it w/both macs and windows? >>



Xamba is just the packaged version of samba I think. So you should have just about everything there at your disposal. I really dont know about the printer sharing though, Ive never used it for that (never even owned a printer 😛). I figured if it does share printers with Windows machines you have that covered and the Mac itself should be able to share the printer with other Macs right?
 
Is the printer a postscript printer? If it is not then you will have a hard time sharing it because it would be a host driven printer.
