Apple OSx to a Windows XP printer

I only had a short time to look at this. The configuration is an Apple with OSX connected by ethernet to a Windows XP with an HP printer. Both computers have the HP drivers for that printer loaded. Both computes see each other. The Apple can see that the Windows XP has an HP printer. But when printing apparently using SAMBA) to that HP printer, the printer appears to output what looks like Postscript commands rather than the document.

What should I be looking for? Need I make some special change to the Windows XP list of network functions? Or is there some (secret) function on the Apple that must be enabled?

I only get to visit this configuration maybe once a month. Doing research in advance would be helpful. Any location that discusses the underlying details of how this configuration works and is suppose to work?
