how to share usb printer from ibm PCs to Mac OS 10.5.x?

hi:

I want to share HP laserjet P1008 printer from a ibm PC to a MACbook.

ibm PC running windows xp sp3
MACbook running MAC OS X (10.5.x)
all english version.

actually from system preference, printer and fax, I can see the windows domain/PCs and also that HP P1008 printer, but when I print, nothing happens and the local printing queue in MAC clean up without any other things happened.

what's wrong with it?


thanks

more, they are in the same subnet.

There are dozens of threads on this subject. And, that is just this week. Do a search on "CUPS."

Well there is the older article How to Use a Printer Attached to a Windows XP Computer in Mac OS X that might give the Windows SAs a chance to make a solution.

i followed the instructions and install ghostscript, unfortunately, it doesn't work at all.

When I print a test page from pc, ps simulation software, in the real printer queue it has been found a new job, but the pages shows: N/A, and the job is staying in the queue unless you delete it.

any ideas?
