Network printing help

[Matt Gnarly]

I currently only have one printer at my house and it's hooked up to the family pc, I was wondering if there's any way to print files from my Macbook without transferring files over to the pc. Also are there any printer preferences for programs like Pages and Keynote, on my pc I can choose greyscale and low quality to save ink and was wondering if this is possible on my mac.
Cheers!

I don't wanna steal this thread or sound like an idiot but how do I get my Macbook to print in color. I am using an HP officejet all in one that is shared with my pc. Printing on the PC isn't an issue, just the mac when I need something in color. I refuse to do my work on our pc anymore since having this macbook. I downloaded the upgrade software & driver info from HP's website but I still can't figure out how to change it from grayscale to color.
Oh & I have the OS X leopard system.
