cross platform file and print sharing
i have a wireless laptop winxp and a desktop G4 MAC os 10.2.8. they are both connected into a wireless router and have valid ip addresses. i was told it was possible to have my printer(usb) connected to my MAC and be able to print docs from my xp machine to my printer via the MAC. Is this true because I have tried all I know.

You could likely set up your Mac as a Print server with CUPS routing over a Samba connection, I think.

With ease. You should be able to go into System Preferences and the Sharing section. Under services the bottom should say Printer Sharing. Just check the box and Rendivous should take care of the rest.
