you might need to login as "root" from your PC box. Enabling root user on the ibook is a start. Search for it in the os x section.

For the drive access problem, you need to modify the permissions on your OS X box. You can do this by editing your smb.conf file (see details on MacOSXHints). You may also want to enable SWAT which will allow you to manage sharing through your web browser (MacOSXHints details).

For the printer, you can try using the Print Center (see details on MacOSX Hints), but driver availablity often becomes an issue. Instead, try GIMP-PRINT GIMP-PRINT for OS X.

...and no, I don't work for MacOSXHints
