2 Problems Left

Ok, I've solved all my problems but two.
1. Windows XP Shared Printer hookup.
The business for which I am serving needs to keep costs down, so they won't buy a print server. It's an HP Laserjet 5000. Since a G5 has no LP1 port, I must resort to sharing the printers.
So far, I've tried to use the printer setup utility, gotten the correct config down pat, but it still doesn't work. I've ensured that each G5 was on the Windows Net and seen the Workgroup. When in the printer setup util, I goto Windows Prinitng and hit Network Neighborhood, the workgroup show up and I click on it, but then no printers are listed. I checked the XP box, sharing and print sharing is on, but the printer IS shared.

2. Internet connection sharing on a routed network.
The network has 1 rotuer, 2 PC's and 2 G5's with OS X 10.3 on them.
I can't for the life of me to get the Mac box to share internet connections past the router. The G5 is on a PPP connection cause that's all they offer to that side of town.

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

P.S. Firewall on router is off. No ACLs on the router. No secuirty measure whatsoever.
