I've heard of some software called "Dave" but it's about £100 and I'm skint!
is there any freeware available?

any help would be very much appreciated
Assuming your printer is Mac compatible it should work without to much fuss,
Set the printer on you XP System as share. Locate the correct printer drivers for your Mac, on installation tell the driver where to look for the printer, select the option browse (network Printer on usb port).
I'll do some more searching into it, if you have more qestions e-mail me @ volker@iinet.net.au.
