I've got an HP Color LaserJet 3600 plugged into our network and accessible by
all of our Macs without any problems. We have a Windows XP notebook I want to
be able to access the printer as well. The PC is on our network and sharing
just fine, but I am unsure how to make it add the HP printer. The printer is
at IP 192.168.1.15 and when I choose add printer and select network printer,
it does not accept this IP address as valid, (Even when I type it in as
"http://192.168.1.15"). Where do I set this up and what is the appropriate
way to type it in to make it work?

Thanks.

Assuming this printer is network enabled and isn't attached to a computer
(to provide the network sharing), you want to select a "Local printer
attached to this computer". On the next screen, you create a new port of
type "Standard TCP/IP port"; from here, you can supply the IP address you
have. Complete the rest of the wizard, and you should be in business.
