Printing from a MacBook wirelessly to a printer connected to a Windows XP PC.
on this forum, I have read instructions on how to fix my problem using Windows 7, but it does not address how to fix this problem with Windows XP. I recently purchased a MacBook using OS 10.6. I have always been able to print wirelessly from my Dell laptop (Windows XP SP3) using a home office network where my printers (I actually have 3-I know, crazy!) are connected to my desktop Dell PC running Windows XP SP2. My Mac can see the printer(s), and it when I tell it to print, it acts like it's printing, but nothing happens at the printer or desktop and the Mac then puts that printer on pause on the Mac. The other posts indicated using LPD protocols, but, assuming this is how to fix it under Windows XP, I am not sure how to even activate LPD on XP. Please provide a solution so I can print on a Brother, Epson or HP connected to my desktop PC from a Mac wirelessly. I have shared my printers on the desktop. I have installed the drivers on both the PC and the Mac. Do I need to update to SP3?

I had told this to go under Windows XP forum, but it didn't change it. If one of the moderators can move this question to XP, that would be great!
