Sharing an HP printer with a PC and a Mac

I already have a Dell PC and am getting a Powerbook. For a printer, I am leaning toward the HP 950C. I'm wondering if I can share it with both computers. Since it has both a parallel port and a USB port, would it be possible to run the printer cable from the PC to the parallel port, and another printer cable from the Powerbook to the USB port? Or would I have compatibility problems doing this?

Thanks,
PrivateCitizen

I'm not 100% sure about HP printers, but this works very well with Epson printers. I'm sharing a Stylus Color 600 with a HP Pavilion and a PowerMac 8600.
