Mac computer trying to print on a Windows XP computer

Hey,
I have a Windows XP Home computer that has a printer hooked up to it...
I am trying to print to that printer from my dad's Mac with OSX on it.
How would I do this?
Thank you,
ZACH

If it's just to print a 'one off' document or other file (provided you have the appropriate application on your PC to open that file), just copy the file to your PC with a floppy or thumb-drive, then open and print it. If you're wanting a permanent solution however, you would have to install MacOSX printer drivers for your printer on to your dad's mac, connect the printer to the mac and print from the mac. It all depends whether your printer came with MacOSX drivers on the CD, or if they can be downloaded from the web.
If no MacOSX drivers exist, then it can't be done.
