sorry I missunderstood you I thought you had a printer connected to your xbox and you wanted to print from windows XP but I see now you have a printer on Windows XP and you want to print to it from the xbox.
I'm afraid I don't know a lot about that

Re: sharing printer: XP box to gentoox
Ive got the problem the other way round. Im runnin the xbox as a server Naslike for files and i want to set up a network printer via samba.
But it doesn work. i used the foo2zjs drivers, foomatic. but foomatic is not on the gentoox tree i think.
