Thats how I do it.

Mandrake 8.1 box in basement, with canon bjc4300 attached
Windows box upstairs with HP2200 attached to it
iMac Upstairs with no printer.

The windows box exports the HP printer, the Mandrake box exports the both 
the Canon & the HP (via samba) to the iMac via appletalk.

As far as the windows box is concerned, the HP is only shared to the 
Linux machine, Windows does not even see the iMac, and the iMac does not 
even see the windows machine.
