im pretty sure you have to install extra drivers on the pc side, when you share it there is an option in the properties window for "additional drivers" to add to share it to other os's

then on the mac side you need to add it printer setup utility, and pick the "More Printers..." button, and look for it there

I think you have to do this (this is what I had to do back in the 10.0 days... I have been meaning to go through this again now that I'm on 10.4, but haven't gotten around to it.

Not a question about iBooks. This is a networking question, post in the correct forum please.
