For the printer the is contected to the pc go to settings>printers
Right click on the printer you want to share, then click the share tab and chose share this printer.
Make sure that the printers are compatable on both machines.
Also download the correct drivers for each printer and machine.
You will want to do a similar thing on the Mac, dont know enough about the Mac to tell you.

Printer subject are usually my pet peeve and when you mix MAC in there then I don't really want to touch it with 10 feet stick

All jokes aside... sharing file printer between MAC and PC are complicated then just sharing a printer... here is some help, follow the last thread:

HI Kara
Not much idea about MAC. But as far as printers are concerned, there are two ways through which the users can access.
1. Peer to peer network.
2. Through a print server.
install a shared driver on a network print server

"point" to the print server from a network client so that the client can use the print driver. This process is also described as a network installation of a printer driver.

Hope this resolves the issue
Regards
Mathew
