How do you use a printer connected to mac from an xp machine?

How do you use a printer connected to mac from an xp machine? I want to be able to use a printer that is connected to a mac osx 10.5 from my xp laptop. I have shared the printer on the mac and I want to have the printer setup on my xp laptop so that it just works and I don't have to login into the mac computer.
