Printing from XP to iMac over Firewire

I have set up an Intel iMac to see the desktop of a Windows XP box
through Microsoft RDC and and a Firewire connection, and it works
great. Had to turn the XP firewall OFF for the firewire connection, but
it shouldn't matter.

The problem is that I cannot print from the PC to the Epson Stylus
Photo connected to the iMac through USB. When I go to Add A Printer, it
gets to where it shows Microsoft Windows Network, under it shows
WorkGroup, but no printer shows up.

The other problem (which may be related) is that I cannot get the XP to
share the iMac's Internet connection.

The Mac firewall is OFF, Printer and Internet share is ON, and as I
said, the XP firewall is OFF for firewire.

Any ideas?

Hi,

As far as I am aware, if you are using RDC on the Mac, an attached
printer has to be a Postscript printer.
