[Scgeeks] getting a mac to print on a pc attached printer ...

[Ellen]

I have added a macbook to my lan. It plays nicely with the windows 
machines and they can see each others' drives -- and remarkably it 
didn't take excessive effort to get that going. Well OK one win machine 
was recalcitrant but I beat it into submission.

So on to the next challenge:

I have a canon printer usb attached to one pc. The other pc can remote 
print to that printer. Would be nice if the mac could do the same. I 
googled and found some slightly mind boggling directions with 
addendums/corrections/apparent contradictions. Anyone done this? Anyone 
want to take me by the hand and explain how to do it -- remembering of 
course that my level of mac expertise is less than 24 hours :-)

And one random other question -- is there a way to have more than one 
terminal window open at once on tiger? (and no this has nothing to do 
with printing)

TIA (and yes, there will be more questions)
