Network printing to a Windows Printer

Aug 7, 2005 6:21AM PDT

Whenever I print to my HP DeskJet 970cse printer (which is attached to a Windows XP PC) I get an error message

"connection failed with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DE"
quickly followed by...
"unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds"

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

connect to the XP machine from the Mac? As in, access a shared folder on that machine?
