I'm not sure I'm answering the question you're asking, but, my experience
is if you are really 'sharing' the printer (samba), then to 'connect' to
it, you have to put the whole share name:

//hostname/printername

and then it should work, unless you are using Windows XP Home, which isn't
something that should be put in anyone's home, unless networking isn't
needed... My opinion only.
