Not sure if this will work for you or not.  

I share a printer but use a print server to do that.  I don't know
what is available these days, the one I have is about 7 yrs old.  I
assigned an ip address to it, the printer plugs into it.  I run
lprportd under os/2 to access it and from Windows I set it up as a
network printer.  I can't recall if I needed netbios on xp to do
this or not, I did need it for file sharing tho.

I have no idea what it would cost you to get a print server up and
running.  If your printer happens to be network ready then maybe
you don't need a print server.

I know this is not what you are looking for, I'm tossing it out in
case it will work for you.
