I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I can see my Linux computer in Windows 7 under Network Computers and in Windows XP under Workgroup Computers. And if I double-click on it, I can see the printers on Linux. But when I try to connect, it's still asking for the drivers even if I already have the drivers installed.

So I somehow manage to add the printer in Windows 7 using drivers for the OfficeJet 4300 series (I guess it's compatible with the PSC 1310 series). But since I can't seem to do the same on XP, I'm sharing the printer from Windows 7 to all the XP computers in my network.

It's a bit awkward to have to use Windows 7 just to print from an XP computer to a printer connected to a Linux computer, but at least someone else can print while I'm on Linux.

Anyway, thanks for your time. I'll see how this goes for now.
