[NTLUG:Discuss] Printer sharing from XP to FC6?

My wife needs to use the printer while she is on Windows XP and I am on
Linux, Fedora Core 6.

We had been using a data switch for the printer, but something has gone
wrong with her parallel port and it looks like I would have to replace
the motherboard to fix it, which task I'm deferring.

If we are both running XP then she can access the printer through my
machine.

How can I achieve the same via Linux? I don't understand networking well
enough to figure this out on my own.

Our connection is via a router, both of us using an ethernet port.
