Finally got OS X printer sharing to work with my PC. I was able to set up the printer in XP with no errors, but nothing ever happened when I tried to print. Tonight I found this hint on Mac OS X Hints. Apparently, when setting up the printer in Windows, one needs to use a PostScript driver instead of the driver for the actual printer.
We have a Lexmark 5200 Series All-In-One printer, connected to a PowerMac G4 running Panther, and I set it up as a network printer in Windows using the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 driver.
Amazing what one can find when one takes a few seconds to Google for an answer.
