I'd like to give Linux a fair go, but given that I can't return the 
printer, what you're suggesting is that I effectively throw away a $500 
printer.  In answer to your question, Linux isn't running on a separate 
PC.  At the moment, I'm using grub to choose between Linux and Windows 
XP Pro.

I'll have a look at samba.  I guess my biggest problem with Linux at the 
moment is that I still know absolutely nothing about it.  I didn't even 
download it myself.  I can't get broadband internet access in my area.  
I got a copy of Fedora from someone else who uses it.

I considered it a major achievement when I managed to have my fat32 
partitions mount automatically each time the machine is booted.  :-)
