[iBook] Windows Printing (this works, I did it)

[Angus Wallace]

I don't know much about this kind of thing, but Samba (generally)  
refers to windows sharing (i.e. of files) across a network. Thus, it  
could be a configuration issue from the XP end.

the 'access denied' makes it sound like a password needs to be  
entered.. this could be either on your ibook, or perhaps it's  
something that needs to be configured on the XP box..

Otherwise, search online for sharing printers with XP..

Good luck,
-Gus
