Re: Is it possible for a Windows PC to print off of a Mac printer share?

Don't know if my title was clear or not. I have an all-Mac network at
home (a B&W G3 running 10.3 with a USB laser printer hooked up and two
G4 ibooks running 10.4). They're all connected on a wireless network and
can print to the printer connected to the B&W.

Recently, I started a new job in an all-Windows office, and was given a
Thinkpad running Windows XP. This is my first experience with Windows.
I've gotten it on to the wireless network, where it has access to the
broadband internet. I'm pretty sure that I can set up the network to
share files between the computers.

But I'm wondering if it's possible for the PC to print to the printer
that's connected to the B&W.

Can anyone out there help?

Not sure if this is correct, but I think (!) that you need Bonjour on
the PC, AFAIK available as a free download for Windows from Apple.
