How do I setup a print server on a windows xp pro
workgroup workstation that has an hp laserjet on it and
share it out to a small netware network?

I don't know enough about Netware, but I do not think that should come into
play. The printers shared from XP, Win2k or Win9x (95,98,Me) will be shared
on the Microsoft Windows Network, they will not be available on the Netware
Network.

XP pro has a limit of 10 client connections. If you have more clients than
this you'll need Server.

All the machines should be on the same workgroup. Run the Network Sharing
Wizard on the XP machine to set the machine up for your network environment.
If you use the XP system as a Firewall, you usually cannot also use the same
machine to share files and printers.
