Ok, I have a HP Laserjet 1200 hooked up with USB to an Airport Extreme N router.
My Macbook Pro can see and print to it just fine.
My parent's Windows Vista laptops can see and print to it fine also.

My dad also has 2 desktop PCs running XP SP2 (Pro i think) and they can see and add them like they'll work. However when we go to print it doesn't spit out!
A printing error message appears "This document failed to print. Troubleshoot etc..."

What am I doing wrong? This printer USED to work set up the exact same way and now it doesn't! Do I need different drivers?
 
Suffice it to say, Bonjour works just fine in Windows XP. If your printer used to work, then it should work now. Use the Bonjour browser to reconfigure your printer.
 
Should I get a PCL5 driver or a Post Script driver? What are the differences and which one will work better overall?
