Hi Tim!

After you "share" the printer in XP you attach to it when you "Add" it
in the System > Administration > Printing window.

# From "Ubuntu document storage facility"!?!? [Caution!] but Looks ok.

If you place the printer on the Ubuntu machine and the share it with
the XP machine then Samba is the tool to do this:

# Specific Ubuntu printer shared to XP from Ubuntu community
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingFromWinXP

# From the Ubuntu website documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba

# From the "Ubuntu document storage" facility?!?! [Caution!]
http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Share_files_using_Samba

# From the unofficial Ubuntu guides

I want to share a printer UNIX to UNIX and have a lot more study to do.

Good Reading!
