Windows XP pro and HP laserjet 1020

I've been trying to figure out how to successfully print from a powerbook to a laserjet 1020 that is being shared on XP. Has anyone successfully configured a mac to work with it? If so, can you help walk me through the steps?

Thanks.

I have a similar problem. I have a 1022,it is attached via USB to my (ugh) Windows XP computer. The Windows box is connected to my router, and I can access and print to the Laserjet via Windows Printing. BUT .... even though I have installed the driver on both the Windows box and the Mac (the HP Laserjet 1022 does not appear on the pulldown menu along with the many otehr HP products) I cannot get it to register as a 1022 when I print from my Mac. I can print ... I lied and told the computers that it was an HP Laserjet 4 ... but my guess is I am losing some functionality. Any ideas? how does one get the 1022 into the dropdown menu?

Thanks!
